Senate minority leader weighs in
Sen. Richard Tisei (R-Wakefield) offers a review of the last several months, with identity theft legislation, sales tax holiday, booster seats, and Sudan divestment.
Tisei also criticizes the Senate’s passing of new welfare reform legislation: “Instead of taking steps to ensure that welfare remains a transitional program that promotes self-sufficiency, the proposed changes only perpetuate a system of dependency that has led some to see welfare as a way of life, which it was never intended to be.”
