"Worked Well" for Whom?

“permitting system gives an important oversight role to local law enforcement,”

Electing respectable Republicans, of which New England has plenty, is bad enough. Electing a progressive to the executive is a abysmal idea.

Some of this comes from the ultra short residency period dictated by the US Supreme Court, no more than 60 days they ruled. Residency should be much longer, say a year for those born outside the state, never for immigrants.
