For the third straight day, Democrats in the Massachusetts state House of Representatives were unable to get a quorum of representatives to the chamber to try to advance a $3.1 billion supplemental budget bill.
House Democrats on Thursday shelved a Republican request to hold a formal session to consider the bill.
But Democrats, who have the votes to pass the bill, have also opted against attending informal sessions to try to offset the procedural maneuver that Republicans have successfully deployed to block attempts to advance the bill without debate or a recorded vote.
Republicans have objected to the bill’s lack of measures to address the inflow of migrants, who have filled the state’s emergency shelters.
