Despite being a dominant sector in the Massachusetts economy, the high-tech community does not have its own dedicated constituency in the Legislature.

Spilka said the caucus will focus on providing more support for this crucial sector of the Massachusetts economy.

This is long overdue. Senator Spilka should be given credit for stepping up and filling this void. High on the list should be action dealing with non-compete clauses in emloyment agreements.
