Round one

You did it!

Big moment for #MAEdu justice, as my #FBRC bill reported favorably out of Education Committee. TY to my co-chair @repalicepeisch, & the many advocates, parents, students, and 117 co-sponsors who’ve helped get the bill this far! Onward to the finish line! #mapoli pic.twitter.com/U9yC1LIEz4

I hear, by the way, that the vote was unanimous.

We'd be remiss in not thanking MASBO and MassBudget for pointing out these gaps, lo these many years ago...finally we're getting a bit of legislative progress. 
Locally, of course, no one was been more stalwart in pointing out that he'd be giving us bad news less often if we fixed this than Brian Allen. So...hat tips all around.

On to Ways and Means!
