Massachusetts to spend money on governing the state. Taxpayers confused.

From today's Boston Globe "$12b aimed at education, transportation":

Governor Deval Patrick tomorrow will unveil a five-year plan to spend $12 billion on new college classrooms, laboratories, roads, bridges, and other construction projects that he says were pushed aside as the state grappled to cover the ballooning cost of the Big Dig, according to a source familiar with the plan.

Imagine that.
