The House 147-8, overrode Gov. Healey’s $2.5 million veto reduction (from 8,864,721 to $6,364,721) in programs for the Bureau of Substance Addiction Services.

Override supporters said the cut will hurt the Bureau of Substance Addiction Services which oversees the statewide system of prevention, intervention, treatment and recovery support services for individuals, families and communities affected by substance addiction.

In her veto message, Gov. Healey said, “I am reducing this item to the amount projected to be necessary to support continued programming. This operating funding overlaps with significant alternative funding sources to support expansions in low-threshold housing units and related supports.”

(A “Yes” vote is for the $2.5 million. A “No” vote is against it.)
