  • 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.

    UPDATE THE BOTTLE BILL YES! I pledge to help. The Bottle Bill (5¢ deposit on some beverage containers) is the single most successful recycling tool in the country. But the Updated Bottle Bill­­—adding water, juice and sports drinks to the deposits—is being blocked by powerful business interests on Beacon Hill. The Updated Bottle Bill (H890/S1650) will reduce litter, increase recycling, and save cities and towns money in trash disposal and litter cleanup. In fact, 208 cities and towns, 375 small businesses, and 90 state and local organizations have endorsed our campaign and joined the effort to pass this bill. Despite this overwhelming support, the Updated Bottle Bill has been “bottled up” in the Legislature for more than a decade. It has never been brought to the floor for a vote, and we need your help now. No more delays! Here’s how you can help: STEP 1: To find out the name of your representative and senator, go to www.WhereDoIVoteMA.com STEP 2: Find out where your legislators stand on the Updated Bottle Bill. See the back of this flyer for a complete guide. STEP 3: Call your state senator and representative today. The State House main number is (617) 722- 2000. Ask for your senator (and then call back and ask for your representative). Tell them: “I am a voter in (name your town) and I support the Updated Bottle Bill. There should be no more delays, this bill needs to come up for a vote now.” (If your legislator supports the Updated Bottle Bill, make sure to thank them, if they are undecided or not supporting the bill, ask them to consider supporting the bill.) STEP 4: After you call, please email [email protected] to let us know your legislator’s response.

    COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE GENERAL COURT STATE HOUSE, BOSTON, MA 02133 Secretary Thomas Turco Executive Office of Public Safety and Security C/O John H. Melander, Jr. 1 Ashburton Pl., Room 2133 Boston, MA 02133 September 16, 2020 Dear Secretary Turco, We write again with disappointment and distress at the recently redrafted regulations for the Medical Parole Program, 501 CMR 17.00. After a lengthy hearing last year only some edits were adopted. The Supreme Judicial Court invalidated previous regulations in early 2020. It is troubling that the newest regulations continue to undermine and again seem to attempt to dismantle the program. Since its adoption in April of 2018, the program has been only occasionally successful. According to your March 2020 annual report, there were 24 petitions to the program from June 2018 until July 2019. While 12 incarcerated people were diagnosed with cancer, and 8 others with “end stage” disorders, only 4 people were released during this time. The Baker/Polito administration seems to approach this program with an attitude of, at best, indifference to its effectiveness, or, at worst, open opposition to its goals. Despite repeated opportunities to get its regulations right, explicit instruction from the Supreme Judicial Court, and specific guidance from the drafters of the statute, the regulations continue to raise new barriers to release for permanently incapacitated and terminally ill incarcerated people that are entirely out of context for the law. We concentrate our criticisms on some key areas: 1. Administrative hurdles have no basis in law and were invalidated by Supreme Judicial Court When regulations are explicitly released to respond to the Buckman v.

It would allow families that appear to be imminently at risk of homelessness to gain admission into EA shelter. It also would prohibit families from being turned away due to lack of documentation and mandate that the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) look in existing state benefits databases to obtain requested documentation instead of delaying applications by requiring families to provide such documentation directly. The bill also would establish an independent ombudsperson unit located in the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development to mediate between EA and HomeBASE participants/applicants and DHCD. - Prevent evictions and foreclosures during the COVID-19 state of emergency and recovery • Lead Sponsors: Representative Frank Moran, Representative Kevin
