Banner week for MA

[learnedax]

So I mentioned to dkapell yesterday that between the SJC's same-sex ruling, Ted Kennedy's public challenging of Bush, and being the only state still prosecuting Microsoft, I was very impressed with recent Massachusetts governance. In fact, I said that it would be great if it weren't for lingering annoyances like the blue laws.

Huh.

This is true, but it's a short-term artifact of the original problem. Small non-liquor stores are on the same footing, but it doesn't seem like a hardship because they never adjusted to it in the first place.

Nonetheless, the repeal still allows for individual towns to place similar bans, but the burden of being proactive will be on those who actually want it.
