Senators Unveil Parole Board Reforms

Senate Minority Leader Bruce E. Tarr (R-Gloucester) and Senate Ways and Means Vice Chairman Steven A. Baddour (D-Methuen) are leading a bipartisan coalition of Senators calling for a series of comprehensive reforms at the state's parole board, including stronger sentencing laws for repeat offenders. The coalition, which includes all four members of the Senate Republican Caucus, held a press conference at the State House this afternoon to unveil their proposal.
