Two groups who sometimes battle each other on Beacon Hill over fairness and transparency in elections both urged state campaign finance regulators on Thursday to scrap a legal interpretation that allows unions to donate up to $15,000 to a single candidate.
While in his early 20s Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker worked on the GOP presidential campaign of former Texas governor John Connally, Baker said Thursday.
As a Democrat, Connally served as governor of Texas during the 1960s. He was riding in President John F. Kennedy's limousine on November 22, 1963 when Kennedy was assassinated, and was himself seriously wounded in the shooting.
