"
Cooperation among federal, state and local elected officials is one of the most important parts of our job, and it’s one that often gets overlooked. Having been able to work with Ruth Balser on issues that are important for Massachusetts citizens in general and our common constituents in Newton has been very important to me. Her integrity, dedication and deep understanding of the issues are great assets and I hope that we will continue to benefit from them.
" — Congressman Barney Frank
