Gov. Deval Patrick yesterday urged his successor, Gov.-elect Charlie Baker, to embark on the same aggressive agenda of international trade missions that Patrick did in his second term, but warned the Republican to expect "body blows" from the press if he does.
Patrick, speaking yesterday at an MIT forum on innovation in Massachusetts, defended his frequent travel overseas to Europe, Asia and the Middle East, which he said has helped foster investments back home and a range of deals to bring direct international flights to Logan International Airport.
"In today's marketplace, and I think it is hard for some in the media to quite understand it, you don't get off the plane with a fistful of purchase orders," Patrick told the crowd. "You start by making friends. ... And after eight years, there is a lot of tangible stuff" that came out of those trips.
"I encourage the governor-elect to travel as well," Patrick said, "notwithstanding the fact that you're going get body blows from reporters when you do. And I would encourage all of you to encourage the governor-elect."
