Massachusetts bill to cut red tape for military families could also aid Barnes Air National Guard Base’s quest for new fighter jets MassLive.com 2 hrs ago Steph Solis, masslive.com
WESTFIELD A proposal to improve military spouses’ job prospects could also boost Barnes Air National Guard Base’s prospects with the Department of Defense.
Legislation filed by Sen. John Velis would cut down on certain licensing requirements for service members and their spouses seeking to use their out-of-state credentials in Massachusetts. It would also expedite the enrollment of their children in Massachusetts schools.
Such a move could help make the Westfield military base a top choice for federal investments, like the next-generation F-35A Lightning II fighter jets that Barnes is on the short list to receive.
