A Massachusetts town with about 11,600 residents will soon get 450 more residents, thanks to Governor Maura Healey's administration — and the town's state representative is not happy about it.
The Healey administration plans to use the former Bay State Correctional Center to house people in the state's emergency shelter system. About about half the people in the shelter system, are migrants — including some illegal immigrants. The facility is a former medium-security prison that closed in 2015.
