Election Day

 Well its primary day here in Massachusetts. the day every two years where we see who will be shaping our future going forward. You say "Wait that's in November" . Well technically your right but in such a democratic leaning state as Massachusetts , if you win in September usually you have the job in November except for the Governor. We tend to have republican governors. I finally understood why as I saw other states pass absolutely insane laws on a range of topics. Its a system of checks and balances. a democratic house and senate pass a law and the governor says "whoa!!! that's crazy" and veto's it. if the house and senate have enough votes its a override. it does happen but not all that often. you know that already from your civics class..never took one?..you should..its tough to participate and I mean participate in a system like this if you don't understand it. TV doesn't help..FoxNews, CNN and the others are so slanted I'm amazed the hosts don't need seatbelts to keep from sliding off the screen. I'm sure there are level headed reporting out there..I'll just have to keep looking. I voted. I supported candidates Ive supported for years..Maura Healey..the worst thing her opponent said was "she was litigious" as Attorney General I certainly hope so. Shannon Liss Riordan..Lawyer running for Attorney General..always defended the little guy..skycaps, taxi drivers, exotic dancers...etc..very pro union as I am..since we are all little guys she seems the perfect choice. Again the only negative I found was a claim she was "spending her own money" oh boy that's a killer. the weather is crappy and that might lower turnout a little but we'll get our usual 30%..maybe a little more and we'll see what happens
