Lets not forget that the current political climate in MA is a product of the voters. They’ve elected a group of folks that represent their views. The crop of crooks in Boston are only a reflect of the populace as a whole. Nice huh?!
..... A great deal of credit is indeed due to the voting public, no question about it. But they have been ably asisted by a heroically incompetent Republican party organization and decades of microscopically computed gerrymandering of voting districts.
Nothing will change here in MA until bankruptcy ultimately brings the entire rotten edifice tumbling down. When the Democrooks are at last no longer able to pay off their political supporters, I think the the voters will turn on them - not before. I’m guessing another ten years.
