POR 2026-171
City Council urge the Healey-Driscoll Administration and the Massachusetts General Court to prioritize the hiring of additional DTA case workers to ensure those eligible for SNAP are able to receive and maintain benefits and taking other steps needed to end the SNAP access crisis
How it started
Proposed by Mayor Siddiqui, Councillors Al-Zubi and McGovern, and Vice Mayor Azeem: a statement of the Council’s position, not a request for action.
What happened
The clerk's record shows no vote or disposition against this item. Some are received and filed without one, and a roundtable takes no votes at all. If the city's record shows otherwise, that is exactly what an audit should catch.
