BOSTON—House Minority Leader Bradley H. Jones, Jr. issued the following statement today in response to the attempt to repeal the Suffolk County holidays:
I am discouraged by the House’s unwillingness to adopt a bi-partisan amendment seeking to repeal the paid holidays for state and municipal personnel in Suffolk County. The potential savings surrounding this long overdue reform would have been a cost savings initiative benefitting the taxpayers of the Commonwealth. Despite this setback, we will continue to push good public policy and transparency.
