It’s time for Senator Joyce to go

By

Dear Editor:

State Senator Brian Joyce took on the Judge Rotenberg Center recently by bad mouthing the founder of the center, Matthew Israel, its methods of controlling very emotionally disturbed children, and ranting on about cruel and abusive treatment by introducing legislation to ban skin shocks, a treatment approved by the parents of the children.

Fortunately, those legislators representing some of the parents jettisoned the measure from the new state budget. Joyce is the kind of legislator who takes on any high visibility cause that does not cost him votes in his district but generates plenty of ink. In my opinion, he is an excellent example of why we need term limits. He thinks he owns his seat. It’s time for Joyce to go.
