BOSTON — Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson fired back at Beacon Hill Democrats on Wednesday night, labeling them and specifically the sponsor of a leadership-backed bill passed along party lines hours before — one which bans corrections inmates from working across state lines — as "ignorant."
"That's the thing about Representative Cabral — he couldn't answer the questions, and he basically filed a bill out of ignorance, not knowing anything, and that usually happens — especially in this case — because he wanted to fit a political agenda," Hodgson said about state Rep. Antonio Cabral (D-New Bedford), whose legislation soared through the House along party lines despite a bevy of questions from GOP members regarding its urgency.
