Below is a table of the actions taken by the House on particular line items that I have been contacted about. This table was prepared by my legislative budget intern, Gideon Weissman.
I did not lead sponsor any amendments that called for additional funds in this year’s budget debate. I did co-sponsor 18 money amendments in the following areas: education and training, early intervention, elder care, housing, domestic violence, legal services, Boys and Girls Clubs, the Quinn bill, public health, Cambridge Health Alliance funding and GLBT youth services.
For the list of items that I prioritized in the initial budget development, please click here.
Please note that all of these line items are likely to be cut during the Senate budget process as a result of the lowering of revenue estimates.
