Quote of the Day
“The lobbyists and folks with corporate interests who largely bankroll these “slush funds,” as one observer put it, will not be surprised by this article. They know where their money is going. The solution: Voters need to have more visibility into who’s legislating in a better way (and these lawmakers exist) so that they can opt for more of that at election time.”
Commenting on the recent Globe article "Smoke-filled rooms and perks of power", and the lack of coverage for rank-and-file lawmakers.
