State Representative Daniel Webster (R-Pembroke) recently condemned a procedural move advanced by House Democratic leadership to squash debate on a local aid resolution.  Webster and his Republican colleagues sponsored the proposal during the most recent meeting of the House of Representatives. 

“I am astounded by the manner in which the Speaker’s deputies killed any chance for a fair debate to occur on this proposal.  For the Ways and Means Chairman to stand before a full assembly of the House, and reject consideration of this resolution is another glaring example of the disconnect between the Democratic super-majority and the people’s desire for transparency in state government,” stated Webster. “Sadly, the parliamentary shenanigans continue on Beacon Hill, and I will continue to hold the Democratic Party accountable for these blatant abuses of power.”
