Off Year Issues

Last year I posted some entries about new sources of energy. A year away from the election is a good time to look at more long range issues. This is still a serious issue and since state governments have to a certain extent pick winners and losers when facilitating or financing new companies with a view to improving the state's economy over the long term, you need legislators who can keep track of emerging technology. Giving credit where credit is due, it has been the Republican Senate Minority leader of the Massachusetts State House who has been doing this and even Mitt Romney has alluded to it. Meanwhile locally, companies in Maine Massachusetts and New Jersey are hard at work on these types of  new energy technologies. But we have an election in six weeks, so I must now add to what I would like to set in motion as you state legislator starting next year.
