(Beacon Hill Roll Call)
Senate 39-0, approved an amendment that would increase funding for Boys & Girls Clubs across the state by $800,000 (from $2.2 million to $3 million.)
“Having spent countless hours at my local Boys and Girls Club, shooting hoops as a kid and later as a youth mentor, I have seen firsthand the transformative impact these organizations have on children and teens,” said amendment sponsor Sen. John Velis (D-Westfield). “That is why I am beyond proud to champion this increased funding for the Boys and Girls Clubs in the Senate’s proposed budget, ensuring they can continue providing essential resources and support to the next generation.”
(A “Yes” vote is for the $800,000.)
