Beacon Hill Roll Call: March 29 to April 2, 2021
Modified: 4/9/2021 2:39:57 PM
There were no roll calls in the House and Senate last week. This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the number of times each representative sided with Gov. Charlie Baker on his 151 vetoes of items in the 2020 session. A two-thirds vote is required to override a gubernatorial veto. In a full 160-member House, the governor needed the support of 54 representatives to sustain a veto when all 160 representatives voted and fewer votes when some members were absent, or a seat was vacant. Baker fell short of that goal as 46 votes was the most support he received on any veto. The House easily overrode all 151 vetoes, including 12 that were overridden unanimously.

Senior living congregate apartments are an industry now with three branches: independent living (nothing to do with disability), assisted living and memory care. The last two are for elders needing some medical care and have to be certified by the Executive Office of Elder Affairs. However, independent living, a profit-making arm, needs some regulation, transparency and fairness, and needs to follow existing Massachusetts discrimination laws.
The problems:
Discriminate vs. Income Source – no rent subsidies, federal or state, accepted – “private pay” – but rent subsidies MUST be accepted according to the Mass. law (but there’s a 20-year wait).
