Lt. GOVERNOR TIM MURRAY SPEAKS TO WALTHAM DEMOCRATS!
Lt. Governor Tim Murray was the special guest speaker for the
January meeting of the Waltham Democratic City Committee.
WALTHAM - Lt. Gov. Tim Murray told a roomful of local Democrats . . . about the challenges of getting initiatives approved on Beacon Hill.
"Expectations are immediate. Results take time," Murray said. "We're learning to work with 130 state reps ... We're trying to learn about the 40 state senators ... I think we all know from our homes and businesses ... it takes a lot of time to build those relationships.
"People ask 'do elections make a difference?' and there's no doubt in my mind from what I've seen over the course of the last year that they do," he told the Democratic City Committee.
