PM in the News: State Senate Considers Ending Term Limits for Senate Presidency

Jennifer Smith, “Key lawmaker proposes ending term limits for Senate president,” CommonWealth, February 7, 2023.

Jonathan Cohn, political director for the left-wing grassroots group Progressive Massachusetts, voiced concern that eliminating term limits for the Senate president would be another step moving the Senate closer to the House in the way it does business. 

The past few years have seen “what I would call a House-ification of the Massachusetts Senate,” said Cohn, “operating with a greater concentration of power that we have, in recent years, more attributed to the Massachusetts House, and now possibly embracing its style of governance.”
