In addition, the collection contains papers related to Hatch's successful attempt in the late 1970s to publicize state tax delinquent lists when he took the Mass. Department of Corporations and Taxation to trial. Additional subjects include the Massachusetts House of Representatives, the Republican Party in the state, and 1978 incumbent governor Michael S. Dukakis.
