Official account of the Massachusetts Senate Republican Caucus.

With all due respect @senjehlen it is a bi-partisan group of members of the @MA_Senate, including @SenJohnFKeenan, who also made a power speech today, that are seeking additional time to review S.2800 it is a broad piece of legislation that deserves a public hearing. #mapoli

[Senator Pat Jehlen @senjehlen]

The most powerful speech I can remember in the Senate. A Republican member is continuing to postpone action on this bill. @SoniaChangDiaz: "Every day we delay this bill we are choking the breath out of this bill, and out of the political strength of communities of color."

If this is actually true, I cannot express how incredibly selfish and foolish this is.

The passage of this bill will bring us one step closer toward creating a system of care that meets the needs of all Massachusetts residents.

The bill increases access to telehealth service, ends the unfair practice of surprise billing, expands the healthcare workforce to enhance quality care, and analyzes the impact of COVID-19 on our healthcare system.

[Patrick O'Connor @PatrickMOConnor]

The @MA_Senate is committed to making our healthcare system more affordable, accessible, and equitable to all. Today, we added to our progress this session by passing our third piece of signature healthcare legislation: the Patients First Act.

If you receive a plain envelope in the mail that’s marked "Money Network Cardholder Services” — do not throw it away. The envelope contains a prepaid debit card that is loaded with your stimulus payment. https://t.co/NBPPMxfb0d

[Boston Police Dept. @bostonpolice]

Every law abiding citizen in Boston should be praying for the safety and well-being of our officers. To be clear, our officers are fighting to protect our city from those who came to Boston looking to disrupt a peaceful protest and hurt and harm police officers.

[Tim Whelan @TRWhelan]

Prayers for safety in the City of Boston tonight. Shame on those who are looting, burning, attacking others, and engaged in violent criminal mayhem. Thank you to the Police Officers and Troopers who are working hard in dangerous conditions to restore order.

[Tim Whelan @TRWhelan]

There is no excuse for this. You don’t treat a dog like this, never mind a fellow human being. This is a horror. The majority (99.9%) of police officers conduct themselves with honor, in highest level of service to their community. Prayers for justice for George Floyd’s family.

[Charlie Baker @MAGovArchive]

As part of our planning for a safe transition to Phase 2, we are releasing restaurant + lodging guidance today.

On Monday I will issue an executive order with further detail that will also enable professional sports teams to begin practice.
