His successor would have been chosen in January, after voters as well as House members had been given a chance to weigh in on the candidates. But the powers on Beacon Hill, notably House Speaker Thomas Finneran, have never had much intcrect in public participation. So after a weekend of private conversations, the commonwealth has been presented with afait accompli. A new speaker, among the three most powerful men in the state, has been hand-picked by the old speaker. Politicians and citizens are now expected to fall in line to kiss his ring. The way Finneran has arranged this backroom deal re flects much of what is wrong with the way the House oper ates. Consider: • Finneran has landed a job lobbying for the Mass.
