Minton Leads Roxbury Victory in Ward Funding Battle
In a heated House session Roxbury prevailed over Dorchester as Representative Minton moved to reroute 159 000 from Dorchester to Roxbury and West Roxbury. The vote counts fluctuated with strong opposition from Lomasney, and Dorchester threats of defeat were noted as the bill moved toward a third reading. The day also advanced schools funding reforms and harbor surveys while other measures were debated and referred.
