State Rep. Al Baldasaro, R-Londonderry, the conservative Republican maverick who is never at a loss for words, came close to totally losing his voice this week. On Monday, Baldasaro had surgery in the Veterans Administration hospital in Jamaica Plain, Mass., to remove a polyp from his throat that was blocking his airway and his voice.
“Yes, my throat is swollen, the voice is muffled but hopefully will be back soon,” Baldasaro texted the Granite Status Wednesday afternoon. “It took a new doctor to identify my throat issue after I’d been complaining for years at the (Manchester) VA and they gave me Mucinex.”
Don’t you just know that before long, Baldasaro will be back at the State House to assume his customary role as the right-wing lion that roared.
Given his bluntness, willingness to speak at the drop of a hat, telling you EXACTLY what he thinks, who do you think I prefer – him or Jeb Bradley?
Roar on, sir!
(H/T: Union Leader / Granite Status)
