| Description | Over the weekend, Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III’s campaign put out a press release condemning Senator Edward J. Markey for failing to acknowledge several Massachusetts towns in a Markey campaign map that sought to highlight his accomplishments for the state’s 351 municipalities.
“Strangely the towns/cities of Stoughton, Blackstone, Dana, Dudley, Enfield, and Prescott do not exist in Markey’s Massachusetts,” read part of the Kennedy campaign’s press release, issued Sunday ahead of a Senate primary debate and titled “MISSING MARKEY.”
The problem, of course, is that the towns of Dana, Enfield, and Prescott don’t exist in anyone’s Massachusetts: The towns are located at the bottom of the present-day Quabbin Reservoir. Dana, Enfield, and Prescott ― along with the town of Greenwich — were unincorporated, razed, and flooded in the 1930s to create the reservoir, which today supplies drinking water to 3 million people. About 2,500 people were displaced by the construction, according to the state Department of Conservation and Recreation. |

That's politics. Always trying to get the upper hand over others. Kennedy should have been more careful, however, this probably won't hurt him THAT much (hopefully).

Yeah that's very true, but I just think of Kennedy as his term-limiter until we can get it into law.

Term limits just give lobbyists more power. In no other profession do we look down upon experience.

I see him for what he is, an opportunist corporatist using his last name to get popular....
