New Leadership For Boston: Tito Jackson For Mayor

November 4, 2017 By jamaicaplainiac

(While I’m promoting this post as being of general interest, this shouldn’t be seen as a BMG endorsement in this race - Charley) Boston is at a crossroads. Tuesday's election is fundamentally about what kind of city we want this to … [Read more...]

Retrospect: We should have targeted “Big Business” Baker

November 18, 2014 By progressivemax

As I see Baker’s transition team start to come together, it is striking to me how many business executives he is filling his inner circle with. We all knew that Baker is in the pocket of big business. Why didn’t we run on it? The … [Read more...]

Falchuk the Eveready Candidate

Massachusetts Voters…LISTEN UP!

September 9, 2014 By jshore

Leading Voters to Smear the Ovals

September 5, 2014 By massmarrier

Yes, I'm politically involved. Yes, I'm a pinko. Yes, I am wide-eyed about voting...everyone voting. In a weak defense, I note that I'm a warden at a Boston polling place (18-16 for you left-brained types). In that sense, elections are … [Read more...]

August 19, 2014 By massmarrier

Here is the 2nd Reason why the Disclosure Bill Rocks. (You know the first).

July 30, 2014 By Avi Green

As all you readers of Blue Mass Group know, anonymous big money in politics is a major problem.  Luckily, today or tomorrow, if all goes well, the Legislature will finalize a bill to clamp down on anonymous SuperPac spending.  That's good … [Read more...]

February 25, 2014 By massmarrier

They Would Be Governor

February 11, 2014 By massmarrier

I apologize half-heartedly for plugging Left Ahead shows. We'd chatted with three Dem candiates so far — Steve Grossman, Juliette Kayyem and Don Berwick. Joe Avallone has not followed up and Martha Coakley has pushed us out to April. On the … [Read more...]

A huge pleasure to join @RepDylan as he launched the #Massachusetts Friends of UK Legislative Caucus at the home of the @FCDOPeterAbbott. It was wonderful to talk about how we can collaborate to benefit constituents and deepen long-standing ties! #mapoli

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?

It's April in #mapoli which means budget season is in full swing. The House will soon pitch a tax relief proposal alongside their 2024 fiscal plan.
