Rep. Denise Garlick assured me yesterday that Speaker DeLeo’s gun bill will actually be better for our chances to have the legislature pass our legislation, to approve the sale of the Medfield State Hospital to the Town of Medfield, because such different pieces of legislation are on such different tracts that they will not impede one another, and the Speaker’s interest in his gun legislation will actually create more days of legislative session in which we will have an opportunity for our legislation to get acted upon. I was afraid that the gun legislation would consume the legislature and leave no time for anything else.
Convoluted, but good for us in the end.
