Letter: Early legislative getaway was 'unconscionable'


To the editor:

I certainly hope that the voters in the state of Massachusetts have good memories when it comes time to elect your state representatives.

In these difficult times, it is unconscionable to me that our full-time legislators have the audacity to take the rest of 2009 off!

Who do they think they are?

If everything is running so smoothly, perhaps we should consider making it a part-time job. That surely would be a great way to save the state money. I just wanted to bring this to everyone's attention.
