Friend,
With the state Senate's 2022 $47.7 billion state budget deliberations now underway, let's take a look at just a couple of the 1,000-plus pieces of pork already approved by their Democratic colleagues in the House:
-
$300,000 "to provide a partnership between the Basketball Hall of Fame and Springfield College by creating a new podcast series, Liberty, Justice and Ball, which will explore the intersection of basketball and social justice."
-
$200,000 for LeLacheur Park in Lowell, which doesn't even have minor league baseball anymore, for "ongoing maintenance and new investments that include updates to and improvements for the concourse, seating areas and the office/shop."
Are you beginning to get the sense that you aren't important to them? Had enough yet?
