Walter Timilty (D-Milton). “We must take action here in Massachusetts to ensure our school custodial workers know we appreciate their hard work and dedication. I am happy to see this bill move out of the Senate and over to the House for action.” QUOTABLE QUOTES — The Baker administrationannounced grants totaling more than $4.1 million to help Massachusetts nonprofi t, faith-based organizations to improve physical security and protect against terroristic and hate-fueled attacks. The announcement was made at the 4th Annual Faith-Based Organizations Safety and Security Seminar hosted by the Commonwealth Fusion Center and attended by more than 150 federal, state, local and nonprofi t partners at the Southbridge Hotel and Conference Center. Here are some of the quotes on the grant: “Protecting our commonwealth means protecting the organizations that are the pillars of our communities. We are committed to ensuring that these nonprofi ts and houses of worship are protected and that everyone can feel safe when they gather and worship.” ---Gov. Charlie Baker “Faith-based organizations provide important opportunities for people to worship, gather and connect with their faith and their community. Protecting these institutions from threats ensures that residents of every creed have a safe, dedicated space to engage in the life of their community.” ---Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito “These grants ensure that nonprofi t institutions where community members gather have the resources that they need to improve security. Ensuring the right to gather safely and to practice faith without fear is fundamental to our public safety goals.” ---Secretary of Public Safety and Security Terrence Reidy “Gathering places such as houses of worship have unique security needs. The grants awarded through this program will help the recipients increase the security of their facilities while continuing to provide the open and welcoming gathering places their communities rely on.” ---Offi ce of Grants and Research Executive Director Kevin Stanton HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and briefl ength of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible latenight sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of October 31-November 4, the House met for a total of four hours and 41 minutes and the Senate met for a total of fi ve hours and 55 minutes. Mon.
