The Massachusetts fiscal year 2024 budget set aside $325 million for the state's emergency shelter system.
However, the state has allocated more than $1 billion for it during the past year.
College campuses should end pro-Gaza tent protests, U.S. Representative Seth Moulton (D-Salem) said.
"Fundamentally, we live in a country that values freedom of speech. So that should be the baseline that you start with. But these protests in many cases have threatened the safety of Jewish students. They've completely disrupted the operation of universities, preventing all the other kids from just being able to go to school. And so the universities have a right, and I would argue in this case even a responsibility, to shut them down. I was delighted to see Harvard just turned on the sprinklers the other day," Moulton said during an appearance on NBC10 Boston's program @Issue, broadcast Sunday, April 28.
