"People need jobs and small businesses, historically, have added jobs first as a recovery begins," Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick recently stated. He is also "considering ways to limit increases in health insurance premiums, by more aggressively wielding the state’s existing powers, and by asking the Legislature to give the state insurance commissioner greater power...[The State Senate] will seek to streamline more than 30 agencies that promote economic development and create regional one-stop centers where all information about state programs and services will be available...The plan will also require that incoming governors file an economic development plan, setting forth performance goals, and form a commission to study the possibility of creating a state-owned bank."
