DID WE GET A RATING WRONG? Your candidate may be pro-life or pro-abortion. That is his/her option. This site is designed to reflect votes and positions so that YOU know what your candidate's CORE position is on various issues. In the future, our database of each candidate's rating will contain links detailing the candidate's database of votes which earned each particular rating (except congressional, as their ratings are easily tracked at projectvotesmart). |

Votesmart has Harriet stating she would deny residents the right to own guns (requirement in mass to carry 'concealed."..) She has flipped flopped so much on immigration, we don't believe any position she might toss into the election ring this year. SHE's a liberal who voted 95% of the time with the house leadership (you remember all those crooks who have been indicted?) She voted for the sales tax, meals tax, and booze tax, and now wants JUST TWO MORE YEARS (as a LAME DUCK) to keep voting for TAX INCREASES. IF there is any legislator to kick to the curb, this is one. Did we mention she has a stellar record for voting "present". Gutless. - Editor Main photo on website is toast with Republican Senator Bruce Tarr. For some reason, Harriett always tends to try to highlight her ties to Bruce Tarr. Question: Now that Tisei has come out of the closet (worst kept 'secret' on Beacon Hill), we wonder if more reps. will follow his lead.... |

Lawrence: Not one dime of Lawrence local taxpayer money is spent on their own school system. Lawrence Mayor ran on RACE, and fired political enemies days after election. Lawrence Mayor held two jobs, State Rep. and Mayor for 40 days until Michelle McPhee, Tommy Duggan, and other heavy-hitters in the media focused attention on who McPhee calls "The FraudFather Willy" The Massachusetts Latino Political Organization, Oiste, called Lantigua's defiant grip on both taxpayer-funded jobs "unacceptable and "Irresponsible". Finally, with a $35 million bill for Lawrence on the table, Willy was forced to resign. In his announcement live interview, he confirmed that he was only be forced to resign because of....hold for it....keep holding for it.....yup, you guessed it, "Race". Patrick Blanchette, Willy's right-hand-man remains in almost as much controversy as the hubby/wife DPW king and queen in Lawrence.... |
