By: State Rep. Linda Dean Campbell – June, 2022 In the Massachusetts Legislature, we are continuing to work diligently to bring accountability and reform to our Soldiers' Homes. Comprehensive reform legislation I filed with Senator Mike Rush (a fellow Veteran) is currently in the final leg of the process. When a very different bill came before the House, it was well publicized that I voted against the version brought forth by House leadership. My reason for doing so was that the House bill was fundamentally different than the original bill Senator Rush and I filed, in ways that could exacerbate governance issues at the Soldiers' Homes.
