Federal DOMA to face challenge

March 3, 2009 By Mr. Lynne

NY Times revisits the candidates’ views on marriage

October 31, 2008 By David

October 31, 2008 By Laurel

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.
