He also questioned how much the bill will cost to implement and noted that it was strongly opposed not only by the Gun Owners Action League, but also by the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association, whose members voted unanimously to oppose the bill. Representative Wong also voted against a supplemental budget proposal on November 8 to allocate $250 million in additional funding to the state’s emergency shelter system to help pay for Rania Saroufim Kyle Swartz Joseph Viglione Ryan Young Marina Youssef Haofeng Zeng About Malden Catholic High School: Since 1932, MC (https://www.maldencatholic.org/) has shaped emerging leaders in our community, claiming a Nobel Laureate, a Senator, two ambassadors and countless community and business heads among its alumni. Annually, graduates attend some of the nation’s most renown universities. Foundational to student success the recent influx of migrants seeking shelter in Massachusetts. He cited the lack of a plan by the Healey-Driscoll Administration to stem the flow of migrants, which has pushed the state’s emergency shelter assistance program to its limits and created a strain on municipal finances as cities and towns struggle to house and educate these new arrivals. During floor debate on the bill, Representative Wong supported an amendment to prospectively limit future emergency housing services to individuals who have been residents of the Commonwealth for at least one year and can provide documented proof of residency. He said is MC’s codivisional model, which offers the best of both worlds: single-gender academics during the day and integrated social and extracurricular opportunities after school. MC is known in the community for its rigorous academics, SFX Scholars Program and award-winning STEM program with electives like Robotics and Engineering Design. MC curricula is designed to improve individual growth mindset, leadership principles and success outcomes along with integrating the Xaverian values of trust, humility, compassion, simplicity and zeal. this is a reasonable policy change that will help ensure that long-term residents do not lose out on housing assistance to individuals who are newly arrived from out of state, but the amendment failed to pass. In 2023, Representative Wong was also recorded in support of several supplemental spending and bond proposals, including bills that: –Provide universal free school meals for all students to help promote their health and well-being; –Allow municipalities to continue the use of remote and hybrid meetings, as well as reduced quorum requirements for town meetings, until March 31, 2025; –Authorize a one-year extension of outdoor dining options for restaurants, which will be allowed to continue serving cocktails, beer and wine in conjunction with food takeout orders until April 1, 2024; and –Provide $175 million in additional municipal grant funding to support several transportation-related initiatives such as the Municipal Small Bridge program and the Complete Streets program. Representative Wong represents the 9th Essex District. He currently serves as the ranking Minority member on the House Committee on Rules; Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development; Joint Committee on Racial Equality, Civil Rights, and Inclusion; and the Joint Committee on Tourism, Arts and Cultural Development.
