No Building for Lynn Congressman Lovering Disappointed
Washington report notes Representative Lovering's disappointment as the President vetoes the Lynn post office building bill. He hoped for House override with Massachusetts Republicans' support, but the House action favors the President. The bill would have funded a $100,000 structure for the Lynn post office solely. The President cites lack of necessity and sufficient existing space despite expected ten year growth.
