The latest hold-up, however, involves attorneys representing leftist special interest outfits including
Field First, which bills itself as a "progressive consulting firm focused on winning elections, passing legislation, and building movements from the bottom up."
Other parties involved include representatives from the Service Employees International Union and the Brazilian Worker Center.
Field First's attorney, citing work load associated with a different case, requested a further delay to review the submitted summary -- which Healey promptly granted.
"Every day that goes by while these delay tactics continue is a day that the referendum's supporters lose," Lyons said, citing the 40,000-signature threshold's Aug. 24 deadline. "Maura Healey is clearly catering to far-left special interest groups and delaying what is a mere legal formality.
"What's going on here is clearly a political maneuver. It's a simple 'yes-or-no' question, but Maura Healey is doing the bidding on behalf of far-left special interest groups to try and run out the clock, because like them, she somehow thinks illegal immigrants are entitled to Massachusetts driver's licenses.
"The fact she's the top law enforcement officer in the commonwealth and supports this lawless policy makes it all the more shameful."
