$1 MILLION FOR HEADSTART PROGRAMS (H 4040)

By Bob Katzen

The House 156-0, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of $1 million (reducing funding from $17.5 million to $16.5 million) in funding for grants to Head Start programs.

“I am reducing this item to the amount projected to be necessary,” said Healey in her veto message. “The adjusted funding level proposed here is consistent with the fiscal year 2023 General Appropriations Act and sustains significant expansion to this line-item in recent fiscal years.”

(A “Yes” vote is for the $1 million. A “No” vote is against it.)
