A Dying Breed

The Herald named Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading) as one of the "Bay State lawmakers that make a difference":

Rep. Bradley Jones (R-North Reading). Or as we like to call him, The Watchdog. The sad reality is that the House minority leader is one of a dying breed up on Beacon Hill - a Republican - one of only 21 in the House and five in the Senate. Jones has used his role to keep tabs all year on the actions (or inaction, as it were) of the body in which he serves, from tallying up the underwhelming workload of the “full-time” Legislature to calling for the dismantling of the Turnpike Authority.
