Dear Dorchester, Mattapan, Hyde Park, Milton,(Massachusetts) Residents, The Ways and Means Committee is probably the biggest step toward passing the legalization bill. Rep Thomas Finneran is the chair of the committee, and one of the most powerful people in the legislature especially with regard to this issue - a very good man to have on our side. If you live in this area please contact him and ask friends to contact him after April 17th! Identify yourself as a member of his district and stress the positive about ferrets in a friendly, pleasant manner! You are our greatest hope for this bill to pass this year! Rep Thomas Finneran (617) 722-2990 Handwritten letters are most affective: Rep Thomas Finneran House of Representatives State House Boston, Ma 02133-1053 Thank you!
