Murray Misleads Voters on Wind Turbine Problem
Murray Still Making Job Recommendations Despite Probation Department Indictments
Sandwich, MA—Today Tom Keyes, Republican candidate for State Senate in the Plymouth & Barnstable District, criticized Senator Murray for not being truthful in her answer on residential wind turbines and for admitting she is still making state job recommendations.
“I could not believe her answer on the residential wind turbine issue. She tried to sneak through the legislation the Wind Energy Siting Reform Act which would have taken away local control. Now she is pretending that she is for local control. Clearly she was trying to mislead voters by not telling the whole story. Honesty has never been her policy,” said Keyes. “These wind turbines in residential areas have ruined people’s lives. Senator Murray cannot be trusted on this issue. If it wasn’t for Republicans watching her during informal sessions she would have snuck in that bill killing local control and more people would be having their lives ruined.”
Keyes comments are in response to tonight’s WATD debate between Senator Murray and her Democrat Primary challenger.
Murray was also questioned about making job recommendations for her constituents. Despite the Probation Department Indictments over patronage, she admitted to still making job recommendations. Public safety jobs were given to unqualified people due to their political connections.
“The system will never change with her in office. She has not learned her lesson,” said Keyes. “The better question would be is she still making job recommendations for friends or has she testified in front of the Grand Jury.”

Murray was also questioned on whether we are done hearing her name connected to the Probation department indictments. She does not know.
“Sounds like there is more to come that she has not fully disclosed,” added Keyes.
Keyes, 45, has served on the Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates and as a Sandwich Selectman. He has also served on numerous boards and committees including: Water Quality Review Committee, Sandwich Economic Development Committee as liaison of the Board of Selectmen , Cemetery Commission, Assembly of Delegates Standing Committee on Economic Affairs, the 21st Century Taskforce to review the Cape Cod Commission and draft operational changes to the County Commissioners, President of the Cape Cod Selectmen and Councilors’ Association and Board of Directors, and member of the Massachusetts Municipal Association’s Selectmen and Councilors’ Association.
Keyes founded his private practice, Keyes Quality Systems in 1998, providing consulting and contract services in management, ethics and compliance. He and his wife, Melissa have two daughters, Madelynn, and Julia. For more information on Tom’s candidacy, voters can visit his website www.VoteKeyes.com

HoiHa,first of all the proof is in the rankings, it's no fluke that he's nubmer 4 and closing in on 3 with a bullet. He's been playing and beating quality opponents for a long time (just look at his H2H with Roger, and he's won 3 of the last 4 against Rafa - although I do think that Rafa is still a level above him, not so much Roger). So how is he doing this? Murray is one of the best returners in the game, top 3 in my opinion, and has surpassed Rafa as the best retriever in the game - he gets to everything. His serve has also improved a great deal over the past year (ignore the IW F, the wind messed with his head, see instead how he served in the SF). He can now hit first serves over 130 mph, which is a huge weapon.And finally, and most importantly, Murray is an all court player, he has a vast array of shots, more than Rafa (who's far and a away my favorite player, btw), and so he's comfortable playing many different styles. This is directly related to his last strength, which is strategy and tactics. Murray has one of the highest tennis IQs in the game. I think that Rafa adapts better than anyone during a match, but Murray usually comes in with the strongest strategies on how to beat a certain player and has the variety in his game to effectively employ that strategy. This last point is important, a lot of players come up with strategies to beat Nadal, but they are unable to really employ those strategies effectively because they have to play a style that they are not used to (Consider how Tommy Haas and Andy Roddick spend their matches against Rafa rushing the net). Murray on the other hand, can rush the net and be effective, or play from the baseline, etc.He's a great, great player and he's going to be nubmer 2 in the near future.
