Lots of work to do

Two news reports last week show how much work we have to do to get Massachusetts working again. Despite assurances by those who run state government, the econony in Massachusetts is not creating jobs as quickly as neighboring states. The Boston Globe reported that Massachusetts hospitals are not hiring and the State House News service reported that Massachusetts' economic growth is below the average of Northeast states. The great thing about this election cycle is that incumbents with opponents have to explain what they have done to get people working and how they will change things to get results. Let's put them to the test.
