working together

So says Doug Rubin of the Governor's office in the 3-11-08 Boston Globe. We wish that had been the headline instead of "House OK's Big Tax Hikes."

Actually we merged Doug's quote with the Speaker's.

There's a story behind the story of who rolled up their sleeves and helped to broker the compromise. Any story tellers out there?
