While they might not get it correct the first time, I'd expect MA to be very aggressive in adopting and promoting new technologies that have obvious/clear values to its constituents. The current governor, Deval Patrick, has put forward a clear agenda of "education, innovation and infrastructure"[1] for the state. Personally, as a tech entrepreneur, I really like the tone it sets.
