What does Massachusetts typically extend

Hugh Hewitt: Now Governor Romney, normally when you have...a lot of people come to Harvard. You're an alum there. I'm an alum. You graduate from the law school and the business school. I'm an undergrad, and I've very embarrasse by this. But normally, they do invite a lot of people. What does the state of Massachusetts, the commonwealth, typically extend to Harvard in terms of assistance when such a dignitary arrives?

 

Governor Mitt Romney: Well, not just for Harvard, but for any time a person of interest and substance comes to our state, if they require escort or security personnel, or special receptions at the airport and so forth, we provide those things out of a sense of dignity and honor. But Harvard, of course, has every right to invite who they want to come. I would disagree with their selection of invitee here, but they have a right to invite whoever they want. But they don't have the right to expect that the state taxpayers, and our police force, are going to provide this individual with an escort and security services. That, in this case, is simply too outrageous for us to bear.
