    where do folks predict this will end up?

      But there will still be compensation cuts.

      And can spend billions, Goldstein.

      <

      p>Note that while Bob Neer found my links useful, my concerns that, by analogy, the Kochtopus Movement is neofascist were too much for him.  

      <

      p>However, using a time of economic hardship to play on fear and utilize divide and conquer had a parallel in the 30s.  The hatred of the 13th and 14th Amendment, the anti-gay and anti-immigrant fervor – for me it is all too familiar given where, when, and among whom I grew up.  

      <

      p>Where will it “end up” is up to you, and I, and people like us being vigilant.  

      <

      p>Even well meaning folks can be sucked into making mistakes; for that reason I truly honor the bravery of the Middlesex County Bar Association which recently unanimously voted as follows:

      <

      p>

      We move to oppose the Governor’s proposal to abolish the Committee for Public Counsel Services, and to move indigent defense into the Executive Branch as a violation of the Separation of Powers required by the Constitution and Declaration of Rights of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

       This was a courageous stand to take against power, and they arranged to send it out as a press release last week.

      <

      p>I realize that my stand on this and other issues is unpopular with some on this site.  However, speaking truth to power, and protecting liberty and access to justice are why I worked five jobs to put myself through law school and became the first attorney (but not the last) in my extended family.  It may surprise you to know that in my family of origin I am considered rather conservative, so all things are relative.

This was a very good, comprehensive account by just-departed Sec. of Ed James Peyser of what the Baker admin did for #mapoli education and what Gov. Healey could do — in @CommonWealthMag. https://commonwealthmagazine.org/education/baker-education-legacy-continuity-and-change/
