Funny how not much changes in 200yr. Basically every part of MA that isn't a part of the Boston area still resents that the state is run economically and socially (order of importance varies by who you talk to) according to what Boston wants/needs/wishes. I'm sure if you went and asked people in Springfield, Hoyoke, North Adams, Fitchburg, New Bedford, (not to mention all the rural communities) what they thought about the quality decision making on Beacon hill you'd get about the same responses you would have gotten in 1787.
