I hadn’t seen Barbara Anderson for years when I pulled up to her house in Marblehead last week, a small place tucked behind two big spruce trees with a woodsy backyard and a sense of stay from the confusion on Beacon Hill. Check out the sides of the modest, comfortable, cozy and cluttered home and you’ll find out something telling about the woman who has terrified both Beacon Hill’s ruling class and liberal interest groups for the last thirty years.

On October 17th, Radio Boston focuses on Massachusetts Ballot Question One. 

The big question: should the Massachusetts state income tax be repealed?

This November 4th is about more than Barack Obama and John McCain.  It’s even about more than Joe Biden and Sarah Palin!

Today I am working on a show about “Question One,” one particularly interesting question Bay Staters will face in less than a month.

What IS Question One, you might ask?
