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, and has resulted in further problems with criminal activity. This amendment looks to take a conservative approach to spending taxpayer dollars on a program riddled with corruption.
