Over at DaveWrites, I've posted 7 tips on navigating the unemployment bureaucracy in Massachusetts based on my own experience being laid off on New Years Eve. A couple of key points:

  • Just go stand in line. Go a day early and ask how early you need to be there, then come back the next day and get a number. Don't waste your time trying to get through on the phone.

Would someone please QC Sec. Galvin's website?

By shane_curcuru@d... - 10/29/08 - 9:03 am

Seriously - if the devil's in the details on some of these questions (in terms of practical implementations, presuming you're not already fundamentally decided) - could someone please ensure that online information about the ballot is a little more complete and correct?

  • The individual ballot question pages on the Sec. State website are fine, but: where's the link to the detailed legislation? People might want to know the details.
  • On the other hand, clicking the Back to: Proposed Ballot Questions link from any of these pages results in a 404 error. Oops. I hope they count ballots better than build websites. Normally, they're pretty good.

Tip: here's the actual overview of the 3 questions.
