Well, if Massachusetts legislature actually produced bills and did not kill them behind closed doors, our representative would be an easy choice. As it stands, we need a change.
Term limits is something I really need to do homework on. Is this a case in point regarding “career politicians”? The secondary headline states that she faces “the real first threat to her career”. She’s been in office since 1999 (25 years). Is this a time for change and a new perspective, or is she representing her constituents just fine?
I don’t even know why Cambridge has a government. It should be divided between Harvard and MIT with some areas given to Belmont, Arlington and Boston.
With a blue trifecta, the MA house is one of the least productive in the country. As a member of leadership, she needs to go.
