They haven’t stopped. Four of them that were elected to office just introduced a bill to allow parents to refuse vaccines like measles and tetanus currently required nationwide to attend school. These nuts here and there have introduced 30 anti-public-health bills so far for the 2022 session, including abolishing the vaccine registry and forcing pharmacists to sell ivermectin to anyone who asks.

They’re dangerous and are harming people.

When you drive over the state line into NH, you are greeted with outlet malls and state-run packies. People will cross the state line just to save a few bucks on taxes. Are we now going to see family-planning clinics springing up on the MA side?

Bite your tongue! The Connecticut River is there for a very good reason. Republican stupidity stops at the New Hamster border.
