State Representative candidate Dan Winslow, the former Presiding Justice of the Wrentham District Court, today endorsed the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation’s (MTF) proposed reforms of the state’s public pension and benefit systems. “Massachusetts taxpayers are paying more and more to support public sector employees with compensation, pensions and benefits that most private sector employees do not have and never will be able to afford for themselves and their own families,” Winslow said. “We need to end this imbalance as a matter of fairness as well as a matter of fiscal prudence.”

South Street in Medfield, posted with a speed limit of 30 mph, has a design in excess of 40 mph

State Representative candidate Dan Winslow today proposed to reform the state transportation standards to eliminate millions of dollars of wasted money on state-funded road construction and instead to stretch tax dollars to allow repaving of local roads and create more construction jobs in Massachusetts communities. Existing state specifications require towns that use state roadway funds to rebuild roads that encourage faster vehicle traffic than posted speed limits. Road construction with faster design speeds, however, is more expensive than simply rebuilding roads to match existing speed limits. Winslow would require roadway design speeds to match posted speed limits, which would save millions of dollars of transportation money each year.
