It was a hearing they held. Probably a negligible amount

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Exclusive: Ayanna Pressley on Introducing Bill to Advance Trans Rights by wdcmsnbcgay
I’m trans and this is perfectly relevant to me and my community. It doesn’t kill us but it makes it hard for us to navigate things like health care where if names don’t line up, you may be charged extra for care, which then can lead to trans people not getting care

Are they as “good” as your traditional (like mom and pop) office?

You “despise people being taken advantage of” yet you’re defending a large government entity instead of a common person. Which one of those do you think is more likely to take advantage of the other? The large government entity or the common person? I understand that many people may play games with the system; however, in this case the dude seems like he has his head on straight and we all know that the RMV can be an absolute poop show.

>But she can't introduce bills in the same way.
Why not? Honestly, could she not introduce bills on those issues too?

Glad this got resolved but absolutely pathetic that the situation got this far in the first place.

The fact that you are more willing to trust a judge, magistrate, and hearing officer over an illogical ruling shows me you just love authority and will bow down to the law.

Sad mentality. Learn to be positive and give people the benefit of the doubt. You don't win anything in life by assuming negativity.

Reply to comment by Beck316 in Ramifications of the "Right to be Rude" in Massachusetts by abhikavi
It is a small but important distinction; I say it isn't public because the the moderator doesn't have to let "the public" into the meeting, such as those non-voter visitors. Only registered voters and a few select town/school employees are required by law.
In a regular public meeting (at least in MA, where the state Open Meeting Law governs public meetings) you simply can't do that, you must let everyone in, even random tourist visitors who just want to watch. Town Meetings are not under open meeting law, they have their own laws (in fact two chapters of state laws).
I've been to Town Meetings in maybe ten towns, and as part of a job a friend has been to several dozen. The moderators are always happy to welcome guests, but (for example) the auditorium in my own town is small enough that the moderator sometimes does not let visitors in until it is clear there will be enough space for all voters first. Perfectly legal, but if the selectmen did that for a selectmen's meeting (a public meeting), it would be an open meeting law violation.

Always shop around, but don't be afraid to just walk in and ask to talk to someone.

I’m trying to decide if this is the part where I tell you sarcastically that I live for your approval and that I’m so crestfallen by your low perception of me, or is it the part where I point out that you’re about three hours late to the party?

The application for registration is pretty clear. I am surprised it took them this long.
> NOTE: Dual Registration is when motor vehicles or trailers registered in another state need to be registered in MA under the dual registration concept (MGL Chapter 90, Section 3) and display plates from both jurisdictions (as required in MGL Chapter 90, Section 6). This applies to vehicles that meet all of the following conditions:
> • Owned by nonresidents
> • Registered in another state
> • In the possession of, or under the control of, MA residents for more than 30 days (not necessarily consecutive) within a calendar year period
