BOSTON – The Massachusetts Senate on Thursday unanimously passed “The Valor Act” – new legislation that will expand benefits and increase access to a range of services for veterans, active-duty military and their families, Senator Katherine Clark announced.
“I am proud to support this omnibus veterans legislation that continues our strong tradition of supporting veterans and military families and will assist veterans and their families with employment, education and services,” said Senator Clark.  “The bill encompasses some of the best ideas presented by the veterans of the Commonwealth, the legislature, the Massachusetts National Guard, and the Department of Veterans’ Services.”
The bill works to help veterans and active military members improve business, educational and housing opportunities.&#8230; <a href="http://katherineclark.org/2012/05/171153/" class="read_more">[more]</a>]]></description>

Last week the Massachusetts Senate passed the Valor Act, new legislation that will expand benefits and increase access to a range of services for veterans, active-duty military members and<br />
their families.  The bill was sponsored by Senator Mike Rush (D, West Roxbury), a lieutenant in the United States Navy, who returned in December from a 10-month deployment to Iraq as an intelligence officer in the Navy Reserve.&#8230; <a href="http://katherineclark.org/2012/05/171008/" class="read_more">[more]</a>]]></description>

Dear Friends &#38; Neighbors,
April is a great month in Massachusetts: signs of Spring are blooming all around us, Little Leaguers are taking the field across our District, and the Red Sox are back in action at Fenway.
This month&#8217;s newsletter highlights the work of the Tax Expenditure Commission, which recently completed its review.&#8230; <a href="http://katherineclark.org/2012/05/131458/" class="read_more">[more]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Senator Katherine Clark
As families and businesses across the state filed their tax returns in April, the Commonwealth was completing an important tax review of its own.  Last year, as part of the state’s budget process, the legislature established a Tax Expenditure Commission.  The Commission was charged with studying the state’s tax expenditures – the various exemptions, deductions, and credits in the Massachusetts tax code – and recommending ways to measure their effectiveness. 
Tax expenditures are designed to encourage certain public policy outcomes, such as creating jobs, hiring veterans, or cleaning environmentally hazardous sites.&#8230; <a href="http://katherineclark.org/2012/05/162043/" class="read_more">[more]</a>]]></description>
