SECTION 73.
Chapter 252 of the General Laws is hereby amended by inserting after section 14C the following section:-
Section 14D. Mosquito control projects and mosquito control districts shall have sole authority in all personnel decisions including, but not limited to, the following: the hiring and firing of personnel; the establishment of rates of compensation for personnel representative of the regional economy; and the hiring of appropriate outside professionals deemed necessary to carry out and fulfill statutory obligations.
Veto Explanation:
I am vetoing this section because it prevents essential reforms instituted by the State Reclamation and Mosquito Control Board to standardize personnel practices by local boards.
