Jack Spillane: Maybe a sleepy election season is just the ticket
People are evidently so happy with the guys and gals who represent us in the state Legislature that hardly anybody has run against a wide swath of longterm incumbents who have represented local cities and towns for one, two and three decades. It's actually more likely that a U.S. senator or congressman from Massachusetts, incumbent governor or attorney general, will draw a re-election opponent than an incumbent member of the state Legislature from SouthCoast.
