Disappointing behavior from @DeniseGarlick and House Leadership here.
The whole saga speaks to a point we've often made: Representatives deserve to have more than a hot second to read the bills they're voting on and write and debate amendments.
#mapoli
Sanchez was chair of Ways and Means, Signed on to #Safecommunitiesact but worked to keep it from the floor. Voters noticed. #Needham progressives helped gotv for @NikaElugardo. Regular folk are getting angry. Seeing disconnect between words and results.

#Needham letters to the editor in this week's @NeedhamTimes focus on Rep @DeniseGarlick's rejection of simple, common sense sunlight reforms. Good government rules are essential to strong democracy. #MAHouse's toxic culture & fealty to Power most of all suppresses both.
#mapoli
And #MAleg still needs to pass the #SafeCommunitiesAct right away. We have a consensus and a bill with first responder-endorsed language. Needs to be a priority
Thank you, @Phil_Sego for shedding light on what goes on in Beacon Hill!
As the saying goes, "Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets." #mapoli

I can't look away from this photo. Families who have desperately fled violence and persecution. To be met with violence and hate at our borders as they peacefully seek asylum is unconscionable and unAmerican. We will not stand for this.
