THE HOUSE AND SENATE: Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives’ votes on roll calls from budget vetoes by Gov. Maura Healey. There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week.
During the week of December 2-6, the House met for a total of two hours and 53 minutes 37 minutes and the Senate met for a total of two hours and 50 minutes.
$3 MILLION FOR EDUCATION OF EARLY EDUCATORS (H 4800)- House 154-2, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of $3 million (reducing funding from $8 million to $5 million) for a program that provides professional development and higher education opportunities and supports for statewide recruitment and training needs of early educators.
The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $3 million was eliminated.
(A “Yes” vote is for the $3 million. A “No” vote is against it.)
Rep. Kate Lipper-Garabedian – Yes //Rep. Donald Wong – Yes
$300,000 FOR UMASS CENTER IN SPRINGFIELD (H 4800)- House 134-24, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of the $300,000 for a reserve fund for the UMass Center in Springfield, a satellite of UMass Amherst, where academic programming is offered.
The Senate did not act on the veto so the veto stands and the $300,000 was eliminated.
(A “Yes” vote is for the $300,000. A “No” vote is against it.)
Rep. Kate Lipper-Garabedian – Yes // Rep. Donald Wong -No
