More reasons why I left Taxachusetts (and Boston in particular) from today’s Howie Carr column. Mumbles is getting ready to jack up the cost of parking tickets in Boston. Yet another reason for decent people to avoid that hellhole of a city.

Let’s run the numbers from the new, improved, everything-included city payroll now online at bostonherald.com. First we have Mumbles Menino, mayor, $175,000 a year.

Next comes Thomas M. Menino Jr., Boston police detective, total pay, with base salary, overtime, police details and Quinn bill benefits for education: $137,529.14.

Next comes Mrs. Thomas M. Menino Jr., a/k/a Lisa, administrative assistant, Property Management: $102,050.22, including $29,140.03 in overtime.

At City Hall, they call this cornucopia of six-figure Mumbles salaries “basic city services.” The rest of us, who are picking up the tab, call it the hackerama.
