Massachusetts GOP demands information on state's $1 billion in 'secret' migrant spending: 'Veil of secrecy'
Fox News
Massachusetts Republicans have submitted a formal request regarding the amount of money that taxpayers are spending to house migrants and information into public safety incidents.
"The Healey-Driscoll Administration has shrouded nearly $1 billion spent in secrecy, leaving Massachusetts residents in the dark," MassGOP chair Amy Carnevale said in a statement. "They have withheld critical information on 600 incidents involving police, fire and EMT. Blocking journalists at every turn, the administration has obstructed the flow of information to the public."
