A political committee supporting the state's so-called Bathroom Bill in Massachusetts raised 17 times more money during the first eight months of 2018 than a committee trying to persuade voters to repeal it.
The Yes on 3 committee also has 35 times more cash on hand about two months before the general election in November, according to filings published Monday by the state Office of Campaign and Political Finance.
Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker has the money, the name recognition, the approval ratings, and the backing of elected officials from both parties — a perfect recipe for re-election.
