There are certain stereotypes attached to Massachusetts State Government. The Senate is liberal; the House is (relatively) conservative; and they tend not to get along. When they do join forces, they’re often checked by the governor, and sometimes return the favor — though during Charlie Baker’s tenure, things have been pretty amicable. Three months into Ron Mariano’s tenure as speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, though, the dynamics that have applied for years may be shifting in subtle but significant ways. Adam Reilly talks about Mariano’s style and its implications for policymaking with Mike Deehan, GBH News’s State House correspondent, and Shira Schoenberg of Commonwealth magazine.
