Old friend eb3-fka-ernie-boch-iii, over at Blue Mass Group, has more on the Beacon Hill Gossip surrounding House Speaker Robert DeLeo (D-Winthrop) and Senate President Therese Murray (D-Plymouth.
Now Speaker Deleo, Senate President Murray and others who make the show run are so distracted by the feds that the place is like a subway train stopped dead in the tunnel.
In the meantime it's no secret that kingmaker and House majority leader Ron Mariano is dropping mumble and grumbles about the speaker that harken back to Speaker McGee and his majority leader George Keverian. Unlike McGee, DeLeo has done nothing that I am aware of to warrant this distancing. WTF.
