Last day to report on proposals for amendments to the Constitution
Quote of the Day
“Rather than endorse a commonsense approach to dealing with the spate of violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants harbored in Massachusetts, Democrats would rather bury their heads in the sand about a problem that continues to persist long after the migrant shelter crisis hit its high-water mark.” “Speaker Mariano and the one-party supermajority has a habit of adopting GOP proposals for immigration reform only after disastrous consequences and cost overruns. I hope Democratic leadership does not wait for even more violent tragedies to occur in our Commonwealth before they finally wake up to the crisis we’re facing.”
