...appearance of a “tough on crime stance.” Such a review may not be the most politically wise choice, as reducing punishments is a political hornets’ nest. But it is a sound policy and morally the right thing to do. We commend Gov. Patrick for having the fortitude to stick his neck out in the name of justice...
