Huge thanks to @SenRodrigues @KarenSpilka & Senate Ways and Means for fully supporting the #GreenBudget. Increased funding for @MassDCR@MassDEP can help fulfill their growing missions and work for a more equitable & resilient MA. #mapoli
We’ve made strides in MA on #EnvironmentalJustice but there is still a long road ahead. A $1mil increase in @MassEEA’s EJ budget will improve translation services & mapping technology to better recognize the impacts of #EnergyInfrastructure on communities. #GreenBudget
Planning & implementing resiliency solutions for MA is hard work, but it's crucial to prevent the worst impacts of #ClimateChange. Increasing @MassEEA’s Climate Adaptation & Preparedness budget by $2.8mil would help the agency acquire the necessary staff & resources. #GreenBudget
With an additional $750K, the Division of Ecological Restoration could hire additional project managers to repair or remove dams & culverts, improving #PublicSafety & #EnvironmentalHealth. #GreenBudget
Today I testified before the Committees on Public Safety/Public Service on two bills I filed to support firefighters and enhance public safety in MA and to help reduce health care costs for State employees. Proud to work with @BostonFire and @MOSES_MASS on these important issues.
DEP is responsible for public health and safety including ensuring clean air & water, enforcement of environmental law, and cleanup/preservation of resources. A 2020 Boston Globe investigation found a 75% decrease in fine collections due to staffing cuts. #greenbudget
The Dept. of Conservation & Recreation is responsible for stewardship, management, & safety of our parks, beaches, forests, campgrounds, & more. In the last year, DCR parks saw an avg 99% increase in use across the state, with a 300% increase in some counties. #GreenBudget
MA's environmental agencies provide jobs, safety, revenue, & recreation. They can't do this without adequate resources. For over 20 yrs, we’ve advocated for restoring their funding to 1% of the state budget. Stay tuned this month to learn more about our #GreenBudget priorities.
I’m very excited to add the Massachusetts Organization of State Engineers & Scientists (MOSES) to list of organizations supporting our campaign this evening! #TeamTed is closing strong- just six days to go!
Thank you @TRWhelan for testifying on our behalf today. The dedicated forensic scientists at the Crime Lab are grateful that you and @MOSES_MASS have our backs!
Thank you to @SpeakerDeLeo @KarenSpilka @tackeychan@joeboncore@senjehlen @RepBrodeur and the rest of the MA Legislature for protecting hardworking families and safeguarding the rights of unions with the signing of the Freedom to Join legislation #mapoli#janus
