The Massachusetts House of Representatives voted in favor of a bill that sought to increase the state's gasoline tax and tax ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft on Wednesday, March 4, 2020. The vote was 113 Yea, 40 Nay, 4 Not Voting.
All Yea votes came from Democrats. All Republicans voted Nay, as did eight Democrats and one unenrolled member (which means not a member of a political party). Four Democrats did not vote.
Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez doesn't like the idea of Iowa having the first caucus in the country and New Hampshire having the first primary.
The problem, according to Perez: they're too white.
