[MassHistPres] Opposition to Senate Budget Amendment GOV 119

[Max Page]

If we are able to get rid of it from the Senate version and it was never in
the House version (I don't believe it was), then it is effectively dead.

 

If it remains in the Senate budget, then we'll have to go to work on the
conference committee and ask that it be left out of the final budget.

 

If it makes it into the final budget, then we appeal to the Governor to veto
it.

UMass President Lederle, 1963:  "It would be my hope that the University of
Massachusetts does not become associated in people's minds, in the future,
with a large outstanding football stadium.  Naturally we want an adequate
facility of modest score to serve our football needs.  I hope that the
University's name will always be associated instead with academic
excellence."

Just to clarify, it is not a bill.

 

It is an amendment to the State senate version of the budget, filed as GOV
119.  The amendments are presently being debated en mass in the Senate.  Now
would be the time to contact your state senator.

 

If it gets into the Senate version then, I think, it goes to conference
committee where your senator or rep is not likely to be a direct
participant.
