Healey Not Handling Migrants Inflow Well, Democratic State Rep Says

Governor Maura Healey's administration needs to do a better job coordinating state and local government services to deal with the influx of foreign migrants into Massachusetts, a state representative said Monday.

"The sheer volume and the needs of the arriving immigrants are complex and the official effort is barely keeping pace with the families arriving daily seeking shelter and other social services," said state Representative William J. Driscoll Jr. (D-Milton), co-chairman of the Joint Committee on Emergency Preparedness and Management of the Massachusetts Legislature, in a letter to the governor dated Monday, September 11.
