The bill that cleared the House with a 156-1 vote seeks major changes at the Holyoke and Chelsea Soldiers' Homes, spurred by a COVID outbreak at the Holyoke facility in 2020 that killed dozens of veterans and spawned multiple investigations.
swept through the former facility nearly two years ago, leading to the deaths of dozens of veterans and spawning multiple independent investigations.
However, the bill that top House Democrats brought forward for a vote had been reshaped in several key sections from the version that Rep. Linda Dean Campbell and Sen. Mike RushThe original draft, Dean Campbell said in an interview, was"much more comprehensive." The version that Dean Campbell and Rush filed would have elevated the secretary of veterans' services to a full Cabinet-level position, up from its current home under the umbrella of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services.
Dean Campbell's bill also would have given the governor authority to appoint or remove a facility's superintendent and deputy superintendent based on consultation with other officials. Hiring and firing power emerged as a key point of tension in Holyoke because of concerns about former Superintendent Bennett Walsh's qualifications.
