Letter from Legislators 7/14/20
July 14, 2020 His Excellency Governor Charles D. Baker State House, Room #280 24 Beacon Street Boston, MA 02133 The Honorable Secretary Marylou Sudders Executive Office of Health and Human Services One Ashburton Place 11th Floor Boston, MA 02108 Re: Support to Accelerate Improvements in the Local Health System Dear Governor Baker and Secretary Sudders: Thank you for your all of your work on behalf of the Commonwealth, and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. If this pandemic has taught us anything, it is that government can take broad scale action quickly when we make it a priority. The pandemic has highlighted our Commonwealth’s many strengths, and also its weaknesses. It has shown us that government can rise to the occasion and create powerful, positive change to address those weaknesses and build for a better tomorrow. It has become exceedingly clear that our local public health system presents us with an opportunity for taking that broad scale action quickly in order to build a stronger Commonwealth for everyone. We were pleased to pass Chapter 72 of the Acts of 2020, An Act Relative to Strengthening the Local and Regional Public Health System (also known as the State Action for Public Health Excellence, or SAPHE, Act), this past April, and we are grateful that you signed this important legislation into law. In light of lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is clear that we must now accelerate progress more quickly toward the goals of the law. During this crisis, our local boards of health have been on the front lines of our state’s response.

An Act to Promote Public Safety and Better Outcomes for Young Adults – S.825/H.3420

Sal DiDomenico (Everett) mid-twenties, particularly with developmentally appropriate Rep. Daniel Donahue (Worcester) interventions. Exposure to toxic environments, like adult jails Rep. Carolyn Dykema (Holliston) and prisons, entrenches young people in problematic Sen. James Eldridge (Acton) behaviors, increasing probability of recidivism. Rep.

The General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts State House, Boston, MA 02133-1053
The General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts State House, Boston, MA 02133-1053 April 7, 2020 David L. Bernhardt, Secretary U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street, N.W. Washington DC 20240 Dear Secretary Bernhardt, We are deeply dismayed and disappointed with the Department of the Interior's recent decision to disestablish and take lands out of trust for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe on March 27, 2020. Not since the mid-twentieth century has an Interior Secretary taken action to disestablish a reservation. This outrageous decision comes as we mark 400 years since the arrival of the Pilgrims in 1620 and recognize the People of the First Light who inhabited these shores for centuries before contact. The Department’s capricious action brings shame to your office and to our nation. Your decision was cruel and it was unnecessary. You were under no court order to take the Wampanoag land out of trust. Further, litigation to uphold the Mashpee Wampanoag’s status as a tribe eligible for the benefits of the Indian Reorganization Act is ongoing. Your intervention was without merit and completely unnecessary. The fact that the Department made this announcement on a Friday afternoon in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates a callous disregard for human decency. Mashpee Wampanoag leaders were focused on protecting members of their tribe, mobilizing health care resources, and executing response plans when they received your ill-timed announcement. As you are well aware, the Department of the Interior holds a federal trust responsibility to tribes, which includes the protection of Native American lands.

2021-2022 Legislative Agenda
294 Washington St, Suite 500, Boston MA 02108, 617-292-4800, info@masspirg, www.masspirg.org 2021-2022 Legislative Agenda MASSPIRG’s mission is to deliver persistent, results-oriented public interest advocacy that protects consumers, preserves the environment, encourages a fair, sustainable economy, promotes public health and fosters responsive, democratic government. Each legislative session, we work on bills that advance public interest reforms and we collaborate with the chief sponsors and cosponsors to promote them. This session there are hundreds of policies being considered which could safeguard public health, protect consumers in the marketplace, transform our energy and transportation systems, reduce waste, remove toxic threats, curb wasteful spending, revitalize our democracy, and protect our environment. Below please find selected state priorities from our legislative agenda for the 2021-2022 session. Getting to Zero Waste Contact: Janet Domenitz, Executive Director, [email protected] Our incinerators are spewing toxic pollution and our landfills are overflowing and leaking. That’s because we bury, burn or export more than half of our waste. Most of the waste that ends up in incinerators and landfills, should be diverted, eliminated, or recycled. MASSPIRG is fighting to get the Commonwealth on the path to a zero waste future and to ensure that state waste policy is dedicated to the principle of reduce, reuse, recycle. Bill Title: An Act to Expand the Bottle Bill, S 2149 & H 3289 Lead Bill Sponsors: Senator Cynthia Creem and Representative Marjorie Decker Deposits are the single most successful tactic for recycling beverage containers. But the bottle bill has not been updated since it became law almost 40 years ago.
