I didn't know about the problems with the welfare agency.  The problems with the Romney admin don't surprise me.  Why did those dopes elect him in?!  (Yes, we voted--but not for him.)  And, yes, MA certainly does have its problems.  But, as you pointed out, it contrasts well with other states.  I've lived in NC, NY, OH, CO, AZ, WA, CA, and HI, and my husband grew up in AK and still has parents there.  No place is perfect.
 
Did you have any trouble transfering your law permit to NJ?  You had to take a test, yes?
 
Where did you earn your BA and law degrees?  Many people come here to attend the multiple colleges and universities, and then stay on, as you know.  I started at Tufts Univ. but migrated westward pretty quickly.

I was in MA for 10 years, but moved back to NJ this summer.  MA is pretty amazing in many ways, legally.  Though pretty horrible in other ways (the Romney administration is pretty awful, and believe it or not MA has the worst (of all states and DC) participation rate in the Food Stamp program for people who are eligible, because the welfare agency is so horrible and denies and terminates everyone.)  So it is not all peachy, but when I went to NM for a summer I realized I was a little spoiled as far as the courts go!  And the MA Town Meeting system of government is about the most democratic form of local government I have ever seen, and I miss it.

Michelle, are you in MA?  So am I.  A very educated, liberal state, comparatively speaking.  We have it lucky compared to some who live in less tolerant states.
