BOSTON — In the end, not even the risk one Beacon Hill Democrat made when he took to the House floor to try and convince his colleagues to reconsider their votes on a controversial pay raise bill made a dent in what appeared to be a preordained outcome.
The House on Thursday voted 116 to 43 to override Governor Charlie Baker's veto of the bill, which will net House Speaker Robert DeLeo (D-Winthrop) and Senate President Stanley Rosenberg (D-Amherst) big pay raises in addition to increasing the pay for a host of other public officials.
The gas station owner's sister-in-law's father can't come to the United States now, but he sees President Donald Trump as trying to protect the United States. He describes the travel restrictions as "three months … it's no big deal."
