"a rabid pro-life conservative"

Frank Phillips is slyly trying to get Lyons reelected so he continue to write about stuff. It's obvious. #mapoli

Frank Phillips @GlobeFPhillips

2)Watch for a raucous State Committee meeting as Lyons, a rabid pro-life conservative,tries to quash move to block his reelection.He wields a wild gavel,blows through rules,could even defy a court order to sit one member.Still hasn't explained hidden party debts.#mapoli

Folks like to blame @GOP for lack of meaningful #PoliceReform. Truth IS; it's bipartisan and both parties present barriers to #PoliceReform. @massdems hide behind support of collective bargaining which has NO place in public safety POLICY! #UrbanAgenda #BOSpoli #MApoli

Notorious VOG @NotoriousVOG

Also UNIONS shouldn’t have influence over #PublicSafety. Any meaningful #PoliceReform MUST include set of CORE responsibilities & requirement which AREN’T subject so-called COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. Cops AREN’T cleaning ladies, they hold life & death in their hands. #BOSpoli #MApoli https://twitter.com/NotoriousVOG/status/1619730104476930050

1)Whether Mass. will ever get a two party system again to be decided Tues. when GOP leaders meet to decide fate of chair Jim Lyons, who has run amok bankrupting the party, losing elections - and faces probes from the AG +camp. finance regulators. #mapoli
