Meschino Bills Advance on Beacon Hill

(BOSTON) - December is a busier time than usual this year on Beacon Hill. Under the new Joint Rules governing the House and Senate, early December marked the deadline for committees to decide the fate of many of the nearly 7,000 bills filed during the 194th legislative session. Legislators are finding out which of their bills received a “favorable report” and have a chance at becoming law, and which were “sent to study,” ostensibly meaning they will not cross the finish line this legislative session. Needless to say, it is a high-stakes time on Beacon Hill.  “It has been heartening to see some of the important legislation I have put forward around child welfare, veteran services, and local initiatives gain momentum,” said State Representative Joan Meschino (D-Hull). “This is the time of the year where you find out what has legs.” Home Rule (Local) Petitions When addressing specific municipal-level issues, members . . .

South Shore Legislators Visit East Elementary

(HINGHAM) - On the morning of Wednesday, October 9th, the 5th grade class at East Elementary School in Hingham could be found sitting cross-legged on the classroom floor. This was no ordinary class, though. Representative Meschino (D-Hull) and Senator O’Connor (R-Weymouth) joined the students for a first-hand civics education lesson. The pair of legislators discussed how they became interested in politics and government, what policy priorities they are currently focusing on, and the different ways they work together on a variety of issues.  “I am always inspired by the curiosity and inquisitive nature of the students at East Elementary,” said Representative Meschino (D-Hull). “Politics is widely seen, and often for fair reasons, as a place of division. I think it’s a helpful reminder to have a Democratic Representative and a Republican Senator in the same room talking about areas where we agree and how we navigate disagreements. I look . . .
