I have taken him to task repeatedly for seeming like a pro-equality leader, but deferring to Travaglini by not forcing issues. He is progressive here and regressive there. <BR/><BR/>The health care may not be his best example either. That is a rudimentary step to where we need to go. Businesses got in at the bare minimum and many fought even that. If this ends up largely shifting the payments from the state to the poorest of the working poor, how progressive will that have been?<BR/><BR/>Likewise with taxes, it's easy to prove that for many sectors, the business taxes here are near the bottom of the nation. He has to step up on that, for people, not for the largest corporations.<BR/><BR/>Sal can do better and we expect him to do so. In his position and with this administration, it's not like there's a place where he can hide.massmarrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358207247771711952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-5760607192430406612007-04-15T00:19:00.000-04:002007-04-15T00:19:00.000-04:00How quickcly we forget taht it was Sal DiMasi who ...How quickcly we forget taht it was Sal DiMasi who forced the business community to come to the table and stay at the table during health care reform...and his positions on gay marriage, stem cell, clean needles and funding for homeless and the needy has not wavered BUT you are ready to dump him because he belives that it is not the right time to vote for new taxes....what a shame!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-58508174102012063662007-04-12T15:22:00.000-04:002007-04-12T15:22:00.000-04:00Excellent summation of Sal DiMasi.

He's got great positions when it's convienant, but when businesses knock on his doors he opens them readily. <BR/><BR/>His chief constituent appears to be Verizon, not the voters of Massachusetts.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523572927796479670noreply@blogger.com
