POLITICAL POTPOURRI" Legislature passes stimulus package The economic stimulusand supplemental spending pack- age passed by the state House and Senatelast week contains $75,000 for improvements to McKeon Field, home of the HyannisMets of the CapeCod Baseball League. State Sen. Rob O'Leary an- nounced the news in a release that also noted approval of $50,000 to keep the Hyannis and Fall River boat registry and-titling offices open. Two historic Cape institu- tions will benefit from the package. There's$200,000 for renovations to the Wampa- noag Indian Meeting House in Mashpee and $1 million to the Massachusetts National Guard for training and op- erations at, and planningthe future of, the Massachusetts Military Reservation on the Upper Cape. "Thanks to a combined ef- fort by the entire delegation, we were able to secure these important appropriations for the region,"O'Leary stated in the release. Another million for MMR While the Massachusetts House and Senate were ap- provinga$1millionappropria- tion for the Massachusetts Military Reservation,the U.S. House was doing the same thing. U.S. Rep. Bill Delahunt an- nounced that the House has OK'd $1 million for design work on the proposed Home- land Security TrainingCenter at the Upper Cape base. The Center has been among the Congressman's priorities for four years. "Whilewe may have wonthe battle to keep Otis (Air Force Base), our work to save the installation is far from over," Delahunt stated in a press release. "We will keep work- ing to obtain new Air Guard missions, while promoting a long-term agreement for Coast Guard operations and the establishment of a new Homeland Security Center." Perry pleased by junior operators changes Tougher penalties for driv- ers with Junior Operator Li- censesordriver'spermitswho speed orviolatepassenger and time restrictions were passed nearly unanimously by the House, state Rep. Jeff Perry announced this week. In a press release, Perry, a co-sponsor of the legislation, stated that the changes "will help ensure that our young drivers will possess the much needed experience before ven- turing out onto our roads." Let elders make the choice State Rep. Eric Turking- ton of Falmouth is urging the Speaker of the House to back legislation that would let elders and the disabled choose the setting for their long-term care. In a press release, Turking- ton stated that "...we have to make it possible for them to stay in their homes as long as possible." The represen- tative noted an administra- tion study showing that the change would save the state $134 million in the first five years by reducing nursing home stays.
