Brian Shortsleeve for Massachusetts BOSTON, MA – Today, Marine Corps Veteran, successful business leader, and proven government reformer Brian Shortsleeve, Republican candidate for governor made the following statement:
“At a time when violence is tearing through our streets and police are being attacked, the politicians on Beacon Hill are proposing to defund sheriffs’ offices. They are using the recent scandals in three Democrat sheriff offices as a pretense to strip funding from ALL sheriffs. And while they punish law enforcement and the public by cutting public safety dollars, they make an exception to keep funding for free phone calls for convicts. They have their priorities totally upside down. Maura Healey needs to denounce these cuts immediately,” said Shortsleeve.
