I certainly hope that newly seated Rep. Krassner can get the slime off of the seat that the whiny Republican left on it. Term limits, Lenny. Remember running on them? #mapoli? @massgop! #cya!

Former State Rep. Lenny Mirra @LennyMirra

There’s an irony to my time in the legislature formally ending…only to be followed by a vote on the House Rules.

I ran for office to oppose the smoke-filled rooms of Beacon Hill…all of which are sanctioned by House Rules. I Will always urge a ‘no’ vote on the rules package. https://twitter.com/adambassofmass/status/1620873312988725249

For starters, ixnay on the trendy PC term “Latinx” to describe these voters. Asked how they describe themselves,
46% chose Latino, 36% Hispanic. Just five percent in a poll with a +/-3.5% margin of error chose “Latinx.” @kelleratlarge
