Two Dem Motions Fail

Two Dem motions relating to Corrections failed as the committee wrapped up work for the day.

The first motion, from Sen. Hansen, was to direct the department to convert unit supervisor positions under the Division of Adult Institutions into teacher positions at any time a unit supervisor position become vacant. It failed 8-8.

Sen. Miller's motion to provide $370,000 GPR in 2008-09 for a re-entry pilot program for inmates with mental illness also failed 8-8.

The committee will return to session on Friday to complete its work on the budget. Here are Friday's budget papers on general fund taxes and MA and the Stewardship Fund.
