David Linsky on SOCIAL SECURITY


Vote selection and interpretation by representatives of Mass Scorecard without approval or participation from the Massachusetts Democratic Party.

Voted YES on Studying how MA can overcome federal workfare rules.
Platform indicates voting YES in Part VII: SOCIAL SECURITY:Clause 3: Safety net.

The governor vetoed the part of Budget Item 1599-4408 which authorized a study on potential state responses to federal welfare rule changes. The study would propose methods to maintain existing welfare coverage when federal changes reduced such coverage. A YEA vote would override the governor's veto, restoring authorization for the study.

The relevant part of the MassDems Platform is Part VII, clause 3: SOCIAL SECURITY AND THE SAFETY NET: We support restoration of crucial federal funding for “safety net” programs.

Bill H.4001 budget item 1599-4408 ; vote number MA05-H093 on Jul 14, 2005
