The op-ed cites an independent Act on Mass analysis of laws passed by the legislature since 1997, documenting a substantial decline in passage of overall bills and policy bills in particular. actonmass.org/2026/09/15/c...

Graph documenting the following analysis: 

"Although Massachusetts’s peculiarities can make it difficult to compare to other states, it can be measured against our own historical record. During the 1997-1998 legislative session, the earliest available on the Legislature’s website, Massachusetts enacted 725 new laws. As is typical, most of these were local bills, commemorative bills, appropriations, or sick leave banks for individual state employees. An Act on Mass analysis found that 252, or roughly 35 percent, were general policy laws."

"In the most recently completed legislative session, 2023-2024, Massachusetts enacted just 496 new laws. Of these, just 79 were general policy laws, representing 16 percent of legislative output. Repeating this analysis for all sessions since 1997 reveals a consistent decline in overall legislative output. Although the current session is unfinished, it is not on track to reverse this trend."

"Massachusetts residents don’t need to read a 50-state analysis to feel that our Legislature is failing to deliver. They feel it when they open their utility bills. They feel it when they struggle to find affordable housing."

Federal funds are available for this that EOPSS has refused to apply for. The funding has been available for decades!

EOPSS has bungled this from the beginning with inexperienced researchers & no true independence.

Pointing fingers is a bad look for an agency focused on "accountability." #mapoli

Marcel Vernon was hired to clean up the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority. Six months after the board gave him the maximum allowable bonus, he was ousted—and he says he knows exactly why.
