Politicians Talking Out Of Both Sides Of Their Mouths

A Letter to the editor from Nancy Howard:

I decided to do some research into the campaign finance reports of two local officeholders. Lo and behold, I found that State Senator Jason Lewis and State Rep. Michael Day have both received substantial support from lobbyists in the marijuana industry. The information below comes from the official reports filed with the Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance as of 12/31/2017, and the Secretary of State's www registration records and disclosure reports submitted by lobbyists, lobbying entities, and their clients.

Senator Lewis received the following marijuana industry lobbyist donations:

Daniel Delaney - 2 $100 donations
Thomas Finneran $200
Diane Morad $200
Michael Morris $200
Gregory D'Agostino - $200
Peter D'Agostino $200
Kimberly Sullivan Giese $100
