"Democrats try to build on their majority in State House" by Andrea Estes, Globe Staff | November 5, 2008
Despite the turmoil that has engulfed Beacon Hill in recent weeks, Democrats yesterday were poised to increase their overwhelming majority in the state Legislature, grabbing at least two seats from the already scant Republican ranks.
As of 1 a.m., Democrats had won a seat previously held by a retiring Republican, John A. Lepper of Attleboro. Democrat Bill Bowles defeated Republican George Ross in the race for that open seat. They also won the seat vacated by Paul J.P. Loscocco of Holliston. Carolyn Dykema, a Democrat, defeated Republican opponent Dan Haley.
Democrats were also ahead in the race to succeed one other Republican who gave up her seat this year - Mary S. Rogeness of Longmeadow. Republicans, who currently hold 19 seats in the 160-member House and five seats in the 40-member Senate, had not recorded a net gain in 18 years.
Five senators, all Democrats, are leaving office, including two who have been criminally indicted. Senator Dianne Wilkerson of Roxbury is accused of accepting bribes, and Arlington Senator J. James Marzilli Jr. allegedly accosted four women last summer in Lowell. -- more--"
How come that pervert got off light? For more on Marzilli go HERE
Here is a paragraph the "update" edited from my paper:
"Republicans yesterday were focused on holding the seats they have and chasing a few others, primarily in right-leaning areas such as Western Massachusetts."
