Mass Fiscal Explanation

MassFiscal supports a yes vote, in support of fiscally responsible spending of taxpayer dollars. Recently, our emergency shelter program has ballooned as a steady stream of migrants have flooded our state due to our generous benefits. This amendment would take a step to mitigate the unsustainable costs it takes to fund this benefit.
