Yesterday, Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray addressed nearly 300 Chamber members at the Government Affairs Forum. During the breakfast, Murray unveiled details of a $250 million bond fund - dubbed "I-Cubed" - aimed at creating new jobs by financing targeted business development programs. He also assured the audience that he fully expected the current administration to seek re-election in 2010.

The event was covered by the Boston Herald and featured in today's Metro Boston. The speech can be heard in its entirety Sunday night at 8:00 p.m. on 90.9 WBUR.
