Update 4.01.2010:  See [1] previous post for more information on the bilingual ballots bill.

Spearheaded by State Senator Sonia Chang-Diaz and State Representative Aaron Michlewitz, both of whom include Chinatown in their districts, the bilingual ballot bill received a favorable vote from the State Committee on Election Laws.  This was a big step that many people did not believe would be possible. Credit also belongs to Representative Moran, the House chair of the committee, Rep. Jeffrey Sanchez, Boston City Council and Mayor Thomas Menino. A press conference was held immediately after the vote on March 12 in Chinatown to announce this significant progress.
