I want to apologize to those who have lost loved ones to suicide because of gambling issues.” ---Sen. John Keenan (D-Quincy) apologizing for his 2022 vote to legalize sports betting in the Bay State. Keenan was testifying in favor of his current bill (S 302) that would place guardrails on sports betting to address the harm that can come with wagering. “If a toy breaks, we know it right away. But if a toy contains toxics such as lead or phthalates, or a chatbot interacts with our child in a way we don’t approve of, we don’t necessarily know. The scariest part is that we can’t actually see all the dangers a toy might pose. That’s deeply troubling.” ---Teresa Murray, Consumer Watchdog Director for U.S. PIRG Education Fund and co-author of a new report, “Trouble in Toyland,” which charges that toys that are powered by artificial intelligence often say inappropriate things to children, and toys, bought online and shipped from overseas, too often conness with one of her friends.

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 Legislatureto use $1.3 billion from the state’s $8.6 billion Rainy Day Fund and to raise additional new revenue by combatting the offshore 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. “For years, we’ve warned that Massachusetts’ rigid and aggressive climate laws were setting the state up for unaffordable energy costs and unreliable power. This proposal shows that even on Beacon Hill, among the very same lawmakers that rammed the net-zero by 2050 roadmap bill through five years ago, there’s growing recognition that the current approach simply isn’t sustainable.” ---Paul Craney, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, advocating for pasone son, James White and his wife Analisa of Salem; one daughter, Kimberly Ciulla and her husband Michael of Danvers; three grandchildren, Siena, Marina and Anthony; one brother, Daniel Winsor of Pepperell; and one sister, Laura Winsor of Revere.

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 filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.
