“It
is angering to see that those who perpetrated such a merciless and cowardly act
of terrorism had been receiving state benefits funded by public dollars.
The
Senate Republican Caucus joins with House Minority Leader Brad Jones and the
House Republican Caucus in seeking answers into what types of benefits Tamerlan
Tsarnaev and his family were receiving, and if they were receiving them
appropriately. By investigating further, the Executive Office of Health
and Human Services will be able to identify any possible failings of the
welfare system that may have otherwise been left undiscovered.
Following
the wake of destruction, death, and injuries that has impacted our state that
these two men have caused, no stone can be left unturned in understanding how
and why these events occurred.”
