Shutdown blame game spurs senator to halt session

Senator Halts Session Over Blame Game

In Boston, Senator Ryan Fattman shut down the Senate's session after a few minutes on Monday. He was unhappy with the political blame game being spread through taxpayer-funded state communications.

Fattman, a Republican from Sutton, told the News Service that he wanted to "send a message" about the Healey administration blaming President Donald Trump for the looming lapse in SNAP benefits.

The Healey administration pointedly blamed President Donald Trump for the looming lapse in SNAP benefits on the Department of Transitional Assistance website and in emails and text messages to recipients.

Snap benefits are at risk of lapsing for about 1 million people.
