Romney offers surprise calls
Since he took office, Romney has introduced a range of proposals that don't make state employees happy: he has floated plans to privatize their pensions; force them to pay more for health insurance; and lay off thousands of workers.
But he also has spent a half-hour or two every week making thank-you calls to state workers and appointees. Aides say he'll sometimes decide, with little warning, to pop into his constituent service office, to chat with the letter-readers and phone answerers. Or he'll walk down the hall to the offices of the staff budget writers, to the surprise of the state troopers who guard him.
Common sense, really.
Incidentally, I've liked the governor more, so far, than I expected to when I voted for him.
