Please allow me to introduce myself

I dont really think you can expect the PPA to have a staffer who follows every legislative bill introduced in every state in order to find the ones that affect poker.

The PPA, just like any other advocacy organization, is going to have rely on the media (bad choice) or its members (perfect choice) to find out these things. Its how the PPA responds that will tell whether its is becoming a truly effective org.

As to the Mass. issue being first presented here on 2+2, ISNT THAT WHY WE COME AND POST TO 2+2 IN THE FIRST PLACE? Sort of like the AP scandal, posters here noticed something amiss, looked further, and alerted the rest of us and action was begun. This is how the information age works.

The PPA was always DC focused before, but is now (finally) branching out - the DC focus is important, but so is responding to state issues. So far so good PPA, at least this time around.

I really cant see how changing the board (which I am still neutral about) would have made any difference here.
