Weld also nailed the coffin lid shut on the viability of the Republican party in MA below the Gov's office, too. He was worse than a case of AIDS to the Republicans. He wants to do the same to the NY GOP.
Well I don't know about the details about that. I do know that the legislature has been totally controlled by the Democrats for decades in Mass. I believe Weld was elected during the days when Billy Bulger ran the legislature from a much bigger and more "sumptuous" office than the Governor's. It couldn't have been much fun being Governor then. Forget about any agenda, forget about even having a veto.
