 For Charlie Baker, the handshaking is over. It's now time to deliver. The governor-elect has been in constant contact with lame duck DeVall Patrick since an official meeting last week. But what should we expect from the governor-to-be? NPR media analyst John Carroll weighs in. What he does a year from now is hard to say. But I think initially his concern is a smooth transition. A big issue during Baker's campaign was being open with the public. To this day, I'm still the only candidate for governor who actually put out a proposal to make transparent the process through which Massachusetts state government hires people. Now he's trying to take that policy and apply it to the transition. Charlie Baker promised transparency in his new office. And that's exactly what he's trying to do with this new website that just launched Monday. BeGreatMA.com invites anyone to submit an application to join the Baker administration. But Carroll says this may not be a wholehearted demonstration of Baker's mission. It's absolutely got PR overtones. But could he find somebody to bring into his administration that he might not have found otherwise? Absolutely. Carroll says the site could show flaws or truths about some of Baker's promises. If he says I want an open administration, I want an inclusive administration, and it turns out that he's got a very exclusive administration a year down the road. That's gonna be something that's gonna be useful as a sort of a cudgel against him. We'll see how effective it's actually been when the administration takes office in January.
