WOW!
Anyone living in MA who wants to be able to go out to eat with me at some point should figure out who their MA State Representatives are and call them about this bill. I'm going to try and go to the public hearing tomorrow if I can figure out where the heck it is. I don't suppose anyone would like to join me?
