When you think about it, there have been a lot of disappointing failures on Beacon Hill recently. We've seen politicians behaving badly. Property tax relief was promised, but instead other taxes went up. Reforms take too long to get debated, and when they are, they get watered down to the point of being ineffective... or actually costing us money to implement.
My list goes on and on. But if you're interested in lists like this, check out Howie Carr's column in the Boston Herald today. He's got a great list of things that are frustrating about Massachusetts politics these days. He says they add up to reasons to support Scott Brown in his bid for the US Senate. But you don't even have to talk about the Senate race to know that Carr's list is a bunch of good reasons why Massachusetts voters should be frustrated with their political leaders, and why they should start demanding change.
What do you think? What's on your list of things that frustrate you about politics these days? Please post a comment below and let's get a conversation started.
