We have institutional bureaucracies that don't want to surrender authority, autonomy or personnel, even though they, if they were honest, recognize the problems.
.
We have legislators who don't want anyone mad at them, much less an organized union. And many don't want to admit that they helped create the "mess."

And we have the Beacon Hill Republicans who are becoming more like a bad comedy routine with each passing day, repeating the same losing rhetoric:
