Invest in Communities
Govenor Baker, Speaker DeLeo and Senate President Spilka
4) Fund communities this includes housing, healthcare, community lead organizations and economic developments.
The legislature needs to address a lack of investment in predominantly Black and Brown communities and an over-investment in their criminalization.
Massachusetts has one of the lowest rates of incarceration in the country, yet we spend more money than any other state on jails and prisons.
