  • THE GENERAL COURT of MASSACHUSETTS State House, Boston, MA 02133
    THE GENERAL COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS State House, Boston, MA 02133 March 26, 2014 Dear Chairman Dempsey: We are writing to ask you to consider level funding for TAFDC (4403-2000) in the FY15 budget. Because of a projected decline in the TAFDC caseload, level funding would allow the state to pay struggling families approximately $70 a month more. This small amount would make a significant difference for TAFDC families. The amount of the TAFDC benefits directly affects victims of violence. The Berkshire Commission on the Status of Women noted, “[f]inancial stress and homelessness are common reasons a victim of violence feels trapped and remains with or returns to her abuser. Victims will not leave an abusive relationship unless we can provide protection. They will suffer abuse longer if they cannot shelter and feed their family. And because there is no place for families to move, they are staying longer in our domestic violence shelters.” Research shows low-income children whose families receive an income boost in the range we propose have better school results. Children’s HealthWatch at Boston Medical Center similarly determined that the federal Recovery Act’s boost in SNAP benefits correlated with children more likely to be classified as “well.” Unfortunately, the SNAP increase expired last fall, making it critical that TAFDC benefits for very low-income families be increased so we do not lose the gains made from the Recovery Act. Moreover, there is ample research confirming that young children who experience hardships such as lack of nutritious food, unstable housing and utility cut-offs are at an increased risk of negative health effects, including developmental delays, that can have life-long consequences.

  • 2013-2014 Legislative Scorecard
    Legislative Scorecard Votes and Leadership 2013-14 LEGISLATIVE SESSION - 1 - This is the inaugural edition of the Environmental League of Massachusetts legislative scorecard. We produced this scorecard to inform citizens about how their legislators voted on important environmental issues. We are pleased and grateful for the support of so many environmental leaders in the legislature. The scorecard relies first on roll call votes on legislation that deals with environmental and energy issues. Because there are so few roll call votes each session—and often these votes are unanimous—we have scored additional actions by legislators to further distinguish environmental champions. Bonus points were awarded to legislators who introduced bills that were ELM priorities or who introduced important amendments, particularly budget amendments to increase funding for state environmental agencies. In addition, we subtracted points for legislators who introduced legislation or amendments that we opposed. We want to recognize leadership and courage, in addition to votes, and have made every attempt to be fair and transparent in our scoring. Much happens during the legislative process that is impractical to score such as committee redrafts, committee votes to move or hold a bill, and measures that would improve flawed legislation. We have not attempted to include these actions, but we recognize that they greatly influence the process and outcomes. None of the bills or amendments scored here should be a surprise to legislators in terms of ELM’s support or opposition. Going forward, ELM will include votes and other actions that support additional revenues for transportation and promote transit, walking and biking. George Bachrach, President Erica Mattison, Legislative Director Highlights of the Session projects.
