THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2025 Page 17 actions have created a massive thunderstorm of pain and suff ering for Massachusetts, and the government shutdown was just the start. This is a time for moral outrage, and a time for action.” ---Cindy Rowe, a member of the Raise Up Massachusetts Steering Committee, urging the Legislature to use $1.3 billion from the state’s $8.6 billion Rainy Day Fund and to raise additional new revenue by combatting the off shore tax dodging of billionaire global corporations, so that Massachusetts can prevent the worst harm from federal cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, education funding and other critical programs.
