One Democrat who voted against a related amendment called the proposal 'a political ploy.'
All but two Massachusetts House Democrats voted against an amendment to provide statewide shelter priority to U.S. military veterans over migrants.On Friday, all 25 Massachusetts state House Republicans were joined by two others across the aisle in voting for Amendment 698 as part of House Bill 4600. The amendment introduced by Republican Minority Leader Bradley Jones, titled 'Homeless Veterans Prioritization for Shelter Assistance,' failed on a 27-129 roll call vote.
''Massachusetts has many specific programs for veterans, which is what Representative Cassidy was arguing with his floor remarks,' the spokesperson said. 'Additionally, the Veterans Committee is working on a bill that they will release later this legislative session that will better support veterans in Massachusetts.'Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, whose state has been at the forefront of the illegal immigration battle, chimed in on the Massachusetts Democrats' votes.
