Health costs
The Mass. Taxpayers Foundation recently recommended that local officials be given the power to design their own health plans without having to negotiate with the unions, and that state retirees use Medicare for their primary health care coverage. Do you support these proposals?
Democrat
Republican
Yes. Currently, the state can plan design; however, they won't give cities and towns the option to plan design. It is a crucial tool that I, as a current selectman, have been asking for for several years.
State pensions
The foundation also proposed changes in state and municipal pensions, such as increasing the retirement age and capping annual pensions at $100,000. Do you agree?
Democrat

Republican
Yes, but don't stop there. We need to look at the four groups in the pension system and take out the discrepancies that allow some groups the option to retire earlier. A blue-ribbon study has been done and suggested many changes. To date, the changes have fallen on deaf ears.
MCAS
Do you believe in keeping the requirement that a student must pass the MCAS or an MCAS-like test in order to graduate from high school?
Democrat

Yes, until we have another way of accountability for our educators. I am open for suggestions.

Republican
Absolutely!
Formal sessions
Is the Legislature holding enough full formal sessions?
Democrat
This candidate hasn't responded yet; please check back later.
Republican
No. If they were, we may be able to see light at the end of this economic downfall.
Term limits
Should there be term limits for the jobs of House Speaker and Senate President?
Democrat
This candidate hasn't responded yet; please check back later.
Republican
Term limits for all elected positions!
Term limits are the tool we need to take complacency out of Beacon Hill.
