we're going, this is how we're going to reform state government...' every politician comes in talking about making change, and generally there's not much change. but governor bush made a lot of changes. he got the nickname veto corleone. if he saw something in the budget that he thought violated his conservative principles, you could guarantee it was gonna get whacked. he vetoed a bunch of my stuff and i was the senate president. the message to washington, d.c., is 'get ready...' because there will be change. nright to rise usa is responsible for the content of this message. a driver in worcester goes on a crash course smashing through fences and nearly hitting someone's house. police say the driver left behind a lot of destruction. a wild ride that shook some people out of bed. the nightteam's ryan schulteis is in worcester. >> reporter: kim a lots of
