This state/region has had such an affliction from before this nation existed. They don't know how to mind their own business and never distance themselves from the trappings of monarchy. In fact, they were forced by other states in the original union to give up more than they had planned in this regard. They tried for many decades to restore monarchy here directly. When that failed, it seems they shifted their focus to Oligarchy...Reducing the regulation and control on anything is so totally against the instincts of the MA legislature that they don't have a clue how to make it happen. It just goes against their nature.
