Really? I guess it depends on what you mean by "leadership".. do you mean the big 3.. gov/sen. prez/house spkr? then ...maybe... really? Ok.. Stan Rosenburg is at the bottom of that short list.. maybe tossup for the other 2..
Yes, MA is led by those 3. Of them, DeLeo is the most powerful. He runs the house with an iron fist, whereas Rosenberg's style is more collaborative. The only reason taxes haven't been going up faster than they have is because DeLeo hasn't allowed it. Rosenberg loves taxes, and Baker would be powerless to stop them if DeLeo and Rosenberg agreed.
