$100,000 for Swampscott
Swampscott's getting $100,000 to fix parts of the beach along Humphrey street, via the state's budget, due in large part from a lot of hard work coming from our elected leaders representing this town.
The Governor vetoed $50,000 of the funds originally set for Swampscott, which would have totaled $150,000, but it's still going to make for a lot of improvements along our portion of the beach. The remaining $50,000 could be reinserted to the budget if the State Legislature is able to override the Governor's veto, which is a definite possibility.
There's a lot more work to be done in terms of state funding for the town, especially Chapter 70, but it's good to know we have strong leadership fighting for our interests every day.
