Apology in order-but not to House Speaker

Posted by Brian R. Merrick on

Boston Globe letter, January 19, 2016

HOUSE SPEAKER Robert DeLeo has demanded that the Globe apologize for comparing the House of Representatives in Massachusetts to a plantation (“On Beacon Hill, a challenging year ahead,” Capital, Jan. 8).

The Globe should apologize — to plantation owners.
