Seems like the only time you ever hear of this guy, the august state rep from Hyde Park (and my small sliver of Roslindale) is when he manages to grind the legislature to a halt over some issue that doesn't involve his district at all (anybody remember how he tied up the disposition of the old Boston State Hospital for years?). This time: A liquor license for some supermarket in Westwood.

Kathleen Powers quotes my state rep, the normally reclusive Angelo Scaccia:
"Mr. Speaker, we have a chance to tax the well-endowed." ...
He was, allegedly, referring to a proposed tax on private colleges with endowments of more than $1 billion.
And if so, does that mean Mike Rush of West Roxbury and Angelo Scaccia are half-wits when apart? If nothing else, they should realize that sending press releases with the same exact quote to the newspaper that covers parts of both their districts might get a reporter to blogging.
