GOP's Baker got $100,000-plus for 2 board seats

[Ian David]

Boston (AP) -- Republican gubernatorial candidate Charles Baker was paid $100,000 or more for each of two board seats he held last year, according to a state financial disclosure form released Tuesday.

One of the payments came from Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, where he also worked as president until resigning last year to run for governor. The other was from Natixis Global Asset Management, a financial firm with offices in Boston and Paris. Baker surrendered that seat only in December.

Harvard Pilgrim paid Baker a total compensation of $1.75 million in 2008, his financial disclosure form shows. He has refused, however, to release his state and federal income taxes for 2009 in response to a request by The Associated Press.

The form shows Baker has a timeshare in Park City, Utah, worth over $80,000. It also says Harvard Pilgrim paid him a $6,000 annual car allowance, as well as $900 annually to help with his financial planning. In addition, Baker and his wife, Lauren, own a home in Swampscott whose value is listed only as "$100,001 or more."

1. He's a dirtbag.

I hope Patrick crushes him.

Corrupt Tim Cahill will suck away votes from him, too.
