I am grateful for the first part of your post but saddened by the second part.... 2 people run it? Seems EXTREMELY narrow and not too representative.Charles L.

Those that passed included a reduction of the LTC fee from $140 to $40 and that's a huge improvement.
Some of our more important bills didn't get a committee vote or floor debate because of two people: Speaker Straus or Lt. Gov. Patrick. Majorities are certainly important, but never underestimate the impact that the Speaker and Lt. Gov. have on legislation. Anything they truly support passes in their chamber; anything they oppose dies.
