The Massachusetts state senate has forty members, only five of them are Republicans. One of the five, Robert Hedlund, joined me tonight to discuss pension reform and the state of the GOP in Mass.

On pensions, my golf clap grade stands. Sen. Hedlund is cautiously optimistic that we’ll see more serious reform in the future. I hope he’s is right.

We talked about the state party and its limited resources and he had some good advice for people thinking of running for office.

Sen. Hedlund and his fellow Republicans have a very good blog called Scaling the Hill that is a great way to stay informed of what is going on up thee on Beacon Hill.
