Travaglini to receive hospitals job offer
Lobbying group said to woo Senate president

By Christopher Rowland, Globe Staff | March 15, 2007

The Massachusetts Council of Community Hospitals plans to offer Massachusetts
Senate President Robert E. Travaglini its top job tomorrow, with an annual
salary of more than $300,000, according to someone briefed on the council's
discussions.

The lobbying group's nine-member board has scheduled a telephone conference
call tomorrow afternoon to vote on the offer, which would require the council
to double the dues of its 24 member hospitals, up to $40,000 each, the source
said.

Travaglini's spokeswoman, Anne Dufresne, said the Senate president would not
comment on the possible job offer.

In an e-mail to the Globe, Travaglini said, "It is flattering to be mentioned
for nearly every job that has become available recently. However, I have not
applied for any positions."
