Four Days To Go, Human Rights Groups Asking For A House Vote On Safe Communities Act

The sign says "STOP DELEOING HUMAN RIGHTS."

Speaker of the House Rep. Bob DeLeo (D-Winthrop) controls which bills get a vote and which do not.

Rep Jeffrey Sanchez was a sponsor of Safe Communities Act. He had an opportunity in conference committee to consent to including Safe Communities Act in the state budget but he did not. As a result, he's been accused of taking orders from Speaker DeLeo thus putting his career under Bob DeLeo over his constituents in his Mission Hill district.

Next Tuesday is the last day of the legislative session and the last day Safe Communities Act could get a House vote.

And now for something completely different. A provision was passed this session that provides rent control for yacht clubs on Mass DCR property. Rent increases are limited to 2% a year. Don't ever say the legislature has not given yacht clubs and thus their members discounted rent.
