  1. When they were on the Ma PIke, I overheard one rep saying "And they have a Fast Lane here as well ? I thought only the MA House had a Fast Lane for legislation!" Wonder if they had a pass to avoid tolls ? DeLeo wondered if he should bring his passport, as this was a long way from Beacon Hill. He got worried when he saw a bill changer in the caf. and thought it was a rouge slot !
