There were no roll calls in the House last week. Technical audio problems plagued the Senate live broadcast near the end of the session. All Senate sessions are broadcast live on the Legislature's website at www.malegislature.gov After the Senate adjourned and the online video broadcast ended, the audio could still be heard online. Sen. Will Brownsberger (D-Belmont) who presided over the Senate debate, conducted several “mic checks” and could be heard asking a technician, “It doesn’t sound like I’m underwater anymore?” All Senate roll calls were on amendments to the bill allowing undocumented/illegal immigrants to apply for a Massachusetts standard driver’s license. Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), the sponsor of several failed amendments to the bill, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on why he filed the amendments. Sens. Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn) and Adam Gomez (D-Springfield), two key backers of the bill, did not respond to repeated requests from Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on why they opposed all of Tarr’s amendments. UNDOCUMENTED/ILLEGAL The Angel Fund and the Scott Carlson Award will be given to the fundraising team that goes above and beyond, raising the most funds for The Angel Fund. “We are excited to celebrate in-person and virtually with all the runners and walkers who continue to support The Angel Fund through the Harpoon 5-Miler,” Rich Kennedy, president of The Angel Fund said. “The Angel Fund is grateful to Harpoon Brewery for its support these past 21 year as we continue our fight to find a cure for ALS.” In addition to the Harpoon 5-Miler, donations to the Angel Fund for ALS Research can also be made online at www.theangelfund.org or can be sent to The Angel Fund, 649 Main Street, Wakefield, MA 01880. All donations should be made payable to The Angel Fund for ALS Research. Information about The Angel Fund for ALS Research can be obtained on the website, www. theangelfund.org. IMMIGRANTS CAN GET DRIVER’S LICENSE (S 2851) Senate 32-8, approved a bill allowing undocumented/illegal immigrants to apply for a Massachusetts standard driver’s license. The House has approved a different version of the bill and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration. The bills are similar and both branches approved their version by veto-proof margins. Once the two branches agree on a final version, the measure goes to Gov. Charlie Baker. The legislation requires an applicant “without legal presence” in the United State to provide the RMV with a foreign passport and at least one of five other documents: a driver's license from another state, a foreign driver's license, a birth certificate, a foreign national identification card or a marriage certificate or divorce decree from any U.S. state. “The [bill] makes our roads safer and, just as importantly, makes the lives of more than 185,000 Massachusetts immigrants without status easier by allowing them to earn a standard driver's license,” said Sen. Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn). “In the absence of a robust regional public transportation system, it is impossible for many Massachusetts residents to get through their day without the use of a car. No one should fear detention or deportation over essential everyday tasks such as getting to work, school, doctor's appointments and grocery stores. It is time for Massachusetts to join the 16 other states who have passed this common-sense legislation.” “It was important to me to listen to my local police chiefs, many [of whom] indicated to me that they had concerns,” said Sen.
