October 4, 2012 By afertig

Now that the 1st Presidential debate is out of the way, I think it’s time to refocus locally. I recently read Charley’s post on Tierney / Tisei. And I have to say, I disagree a little. You don’t “just gotta” vote for Tierney just because … [Read more...]

If you're familiar with #mapoli I have questions for you!

My intern is applying for an internship there - obvs I'm thrilled. 😊 What should she know about how the MA legislature is staffed? What other essential knowledge would you pass along?
