Click HERE for the Budget Conference Committee Briefing. In her years on the Board of Aldermen and as a State Representative, Denise Provost has solved problems all over the city. She has represented Somerville on Beacon Hill as a member of the Local Government Advisory Commission, successfully lobbying the state to restore funding for school nurses and to return more lottery money to our community. Denise understands Somerville's needs, and how the state can strengthen our economy. In the House of Representatives, Denise will advocate for: - More state aid for our schools, police, fire and other local services
- More and better public transportation, bus shelters, parks, and recreational facilities
- Affordable homes
- Affordable health care for our families
- Fair revenue sharing and tax policies
- Closing corporate tax loopholes
- Laws which respect individuals and all of our families: our health, our educational needs and our environment
- Jobs that provide decent wages and benefits
- Pursue legislative means to ensure our goal of improving patient safety - the shortage of nurses in our hospitals is a problem that the industry has not corrected on its own.
- Reducing our health care system's skyrocketing costs - our emergency rooms have become the primary source of health care for too many Americans.
