Trav poised to jump

Senate President Robert Travaglini appears likely to accept a private sector job at some point in the near future. Trav, who is from East Boston, has seen his name linked to several lobbying positions that are up for grabs and pay exponentially more than his current salary of $90,000.

With three kids in college in the next few years and reports that he and his wife want to build a home in Winthrop, outside his current district, it would seem that Trav is ripe to make the jump now. In recent weeks three of his top aides have left and not been replaced, which seems a clear harbinger.

Travaglini is well liked in the Senate and it appears that some will be sad to see him go, which didn't appear to be the case a couple years ago with autocratic House speaker Tom Finneran.
