State representatives on Monday gave a boost to tax credits for film production, land conservation and the rehabilitation of historic buildings as they dove into the likely days-long process of crafting their fiscal 2022 budget.
House lawmakers signed off on the three tax credit amendments before giving initial approval to the $47.65 billion spending plan for next year, and all other amendments involving revenue and taxes were quietly withdrawn with no vote or debate over possible tax increases or reductions.
Introducing the bill, House Ways and Means Chairman Aaron Michlewitz said his committee s budget proposal aims to rebuild a stronger version of the state s economy as it begins to emerge from the COVID-19 crisis, with investments like $50 million for adult education, $5 million for tourism marketing, and a $10 million offshore wind career training program.

Beacon Hill Roll Call: Jan. 18 to Jan. 22, 2021
Published: 1/29/2021 3:10:27 PM
There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. Instead, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the percentage of times local representatives voted with their party’s leadership in the 2020 legislative session.
Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 259 votes from the 2020 House session as the basis for this report. This includes all roll calls that were not on local issues. The votes of the 125 Democrats were compared to former House Speaker Bob DeLeo until he resigned in December. After that, they were compared to current Speaker Ron Mariano. The votes of the 30 Republicans were compared with House Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones, R-North Reading.
