No “yeah but” — respect the ballot

September 15, 2006 By sabutai 41 Comments

The official result of the popular vote on the referendum, duly counted and certified, was to lower taxes to 5%, right or wrong.  There wasn’t an "if...then" option on the ballot.  Nowhere on my ballot did it say "yeah but."  … [Read more...]

New in @NEJMPerspec: The False Promise of Natural Gas. "Gas is associated with health and environmental hazards and reduced social welfare at every stage of its life cycle." Citizens advocating for #NoWeymouthCompress know this. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1913663?query=featured_home

It's a myth that Massachusetts is a progressive state. We don't lead on climate, aff'l housing, public transit, reproductive rights, progressive taxation, racial justice, criminal justice, voting rights, env't. Maybe we're ok on health care & guns. Am I missing something? #mapoli

@bluemassgroup I was totally shocked.

Also: later, his executive protection unit guy that day gave me a mini lecture on "that wasn't the right time".

Not only is Gov. Baker not interested in the health of MA residents; he complained that one resident who had been trying to talk to him for months re the compressor was being “brutal” to him.

At what point do we say this is arrogant, high-handed behavior? #mapoli

Nancy Vann@NSVann

Thanks so much @SenMarkey!

I guess the approval of this project - which is opposed by most other MA officials - means that @MassGovernor Charlie Baker isn’t interested in either the health of Massachusetts residents or higher office.

Terribly shortsighted on both counts. https://twitter.com/edmarkey/status/1202633873995288576
