Democrats have ~80% in both houses of the MA Legislature. Here are the times they have overridden our Republican governor's veto this year outside of budget line items: (1) When they voted to raise their own pay Yeah, it's just that one.

I dug for a while and I found a Vehicle Miles Travelled tax that appears to have been vetoed? Which I guess is bad but raising taxes is pretty unpopular in general, so kinda not a shock that they couldn't get an override going on that.
And then I saw where the former D governor, Deval Patrick, wanted to raise income tax and lower sales tax, which seems like a benefit to poor people to me, but the legislature refused to do that, so I guess that's bad but that's Dem infighting not Republicans...

Yeah, the weird thing in MA is that the Legislature was more hostile to Patrick than they are to Baker.

well, I mean... I can think of at least one reason why that wouldn't be weird...
