When does ‘I had no active role’ really mean “… making decisions involving the operation or management of the activity, performing services for the activity, and hiring and discharging employees.”?

August 29, 2012 By Mr. Lynne

Answer - when it affects your taxes. But according to his 2010 tax return, when the Internal Revenue Service comes calling in April, Romney has a different answer: The presumptive GOP nominee reaps lucrative tax breaks for "active" … [Read more...]

Just passing along a noteworthy Bloomberg article. Noteworthy because the author, Anthony Luzzatto Gardner, is Managing Director for Structured Finance at Palamon Capital Partners (a private equity fund). He points out in Bloomberg the … [Read more...]

Mitt miffs another one.

December 20, 2011 By Mr. Lynne

Romney desperately needs to gain some 'empathy traction'. But it's funny to watch as he tries. (hat tip Ed Brayton) A day after being labelled “out of touch” for casually offering a $10,000 bet to a rival candidate, Mr Romney told … [Read more...]

So when?

November 5, 2010 By Mr. Lynne

So when's the get-together we should have and at what establishment dedicated to the imbibing of the fruits of fermentation?  After the election, but before the holidays turn up the crazy again, seems a natural temporal LaGrange point. … [Read more...]

What you need to know about teacher strikes:

✅ they’re popular
✅ they work

Yet they remain illegal in MA—call your rep and tell them how cool they’ll be when they support MTA’s #RightToStrike bill! ✊🏼 #mapoli

It's time for the @ACSCANMA monthly meeting. We have a lot of legislative work to do up under the Golden Dome of the Massachusetts State House in Boston! My "favorite" bill is "An Act to reduce incidence and death from #PancreaticCancer" (S.1330/H.2182)! @ACSCAN #mapoli #magov

Urgent need to invest in public housing- and the Governor’s budget doesn't cut it.

Thanks @GBinterfaith and thank you to West Broadway tenants @BHA_Boston for turning out! #bospoli #mapoli

GBH News @GBHNews

What will it take to make a dent in the Massachusetts housing crisis? @GBinterfaith has ideas -- and they want lawmakers to listen:

#Carless #mapoli #Bospoli #MBTA #Tis4Torture 5pm no Orange Line train for 40 min, then that one didn't stop at my station. Five more min later the train finally graced us with her presence after a 45 min wait. At Rush hour, on a weekday. I could have gotten to Providence faster

Here to hold the line @realgaraad

@LydiaMEdwards needs to issue an apology to @juliaforboston! What happened on Saturday was appalling! How can you deny a duly elected prominent Latinx leader not to participate in a public event centered on Latinx voices? The irony here is so sad and unimaginable!#bospoli #mapoli https://twitter.com/EBProgress/status/1637840035285278723
