Reply to comment by ChainmailleAddict in 'Wholly unnecessary': Mass. House speaker says he will not comply with state auditor's legislative probe by throwsplasticattrees

Well they vote that way so they get good offices, nice committee assignments, the kiss of death in the MA house is to piss off the speaker. Legislators get pay bumps based on the committees they serve on. So the speaker has lots of leverage over members of he house…

There was a bloc of Dems primarying said cronies, who didn't care about pissing him off. Unfortunately, complacency won. I think about how stacked the cards are against people not in the establishment and it's frustrating. They have it WAY too easy.
