BOSTON — State Representative Geoff Diehl let out a chuckle Monday morning when asked by a New Boston Post reporter how long it took him to read U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren's newest hardcover memoir, titled This Fight Is Our Fight: The Battle To Save America's Middle Class.
"To be honest with you, I haven't found a reason to read her book yet," the Republican from Whitman answered. "I do a lot of work up on Beacon Hill, a lot of bills to file, a lot of bills to read, I'll certainly look at the synopsis but it doesn't seem to me like right now the work that she's doing on writing these books is as important as the work we need to be getting done on Beacon Hill."
"Give me your tired, your poor / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" — but once you arrive in New York, don't dare try moving somewhere else, or Governor Andrew Cuomo will be chasing you to take back your college scholarship money.
Leave it to Governor Cuomo to transform what Emma Lazarus's poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty called the "golden door" into a modern version of golden handcuffs.
