The full list of the Governor\u2019s vetoes can be found here:
\nhttp:\/\/www.mass.gov\/anf\/budget-taxes-and-procurement\/state-budget\/fy18-budget-info\/governors-fy18-vetoes\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The legislature now has the option to override any or all of Baker’s vetoes. To override a veto, at least 2\/3 of the legislators must vote to do so. The legislature has already wielded<\/a> this power. We need your help in advocating that it override Baker’s vetoes to the line items we have been following.<\/p>\n

Please contact your state representative and state senator and respectfully request that they vote to override the governor’s vetoes of the above line items. These line items are a crucial part of the creative sector in our state.<\/p>\n

To find our who represents you, go here:\u00a0https:\/\/malegislature.gov\/Search\/FindMyLegislator<\/a><\/p>\n

MALC will keep you posted as the legislature debates which vetoes to override.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0Important Reminder<\/h4>\n

Please take the \u201cBy Artists For Artists\u201d<\/strong> state-wide survey for Massachusetts artists of all disciplines! MALC needs your answers to help us better advocate for our community!<\/p>\n
