Supports tough gun control laws

Baker and Tisei are arguably among the most radical Republican party-endorsed Governor or Lt. Governor candidates ever in Massachusetts. How bad are they? Off the charts. In any other state they would be left-wing Democrats.

Left of Obama! Told the Boston Globe that he is "to the left of Obama" on social issues.
Gun control: Has stated that he supports tough gun control laws.
Gambling
Supports expanded gambling in Massachusetts.
Big Dig boondoggle
Baker was Gov. Bill Weld's budget chief during the expansion of the "Big Dig"--the most expensive public works project in history.
Prop 2-1/2 override
Supported Prop 2-1/2 property tax override in his town, and was major donor for override effort.
Quinn Bill
Supports the Quinn Bill, a gift by the Legislature to the police unions, seen as a fiscal money pit by many conservatives.
