March 31, 2023 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Boston – On Tuesday, March 21, State Representative Kathleen LaNatra (D – Kingston) co-chaired a hearing of the Massachusetts General Court Joint Committee on Ways and Means. Along with her colleague and co-chair, State Senator John Cronin (D – Lunenberg), the Joint Committee on Ways and Means heard from health and human services-related agencies across the State as the Massachusetts Legislature begins to work on their FY’24 budget.
“I was honored to be given the opportunity to chair a hearing of the Committee on Ways and Means, examining the Governor’s FY’24 budget,” said LaNatra (D – Kingston). “The budget is critical in determining the legislature’s priorities for the upcoming fiscal year, and I am proud to be able to play a role in creating the House budget. I am grateful to Chairman Michlewitz for instilling in me the confidence to lead this hearing.”
Tuesday’s hearing was the second of two hearings regarding the Governor’s budget proposals for health and human services. The Committee met in Fitchburg at the town’s Legislative Building. The Committee heard from the Executive Office of Veterans’ Services and Soldiers Homes, the Department of Transitional Assistance, the Department of Youth Services, the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, the Massachusetts Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission and the Office of Refugees and Immigrants.
Representative LaNatra’s district includes all residents of Kingston, Plympton, Plymouth (Precincts 1,2,3,5 and 13) Middleboro (Precincts 1 & 5A), Halifax (Precincts 1 & 2A) and Pembroke (Precinct 3)..
