Bid to repeal life sciences bill thwarted in state Senate

May 22, 2009 By MassDevice staff

An attempt to repeal the Life Sciences Act of 2008 by a Republican critic was resoundingly trounced on Beacon Hill this week, Mass High Tech reported.

The proposal to repeal the 10-year, $1 billion injection into the state’s life sciences industry (sponsored by state Sen. Richard Tisei, R-Wakefield), “Repeal of the Biotech Bailout Bill,” would have amended the Senate’s fiscal year 2010 budget. It failed Thursday night on a 32-7 vote. Playing online slots is a one-of-a-kind gaming experience. When you carefully think of it, it’s not easy to find an online gaming entertainment with a potential to match the amount of excitement created by playing slots in online casinos. If you love suspense games online, Dracula’s Castle is for players who like darker themes created by the developers that you can enjoy Or is there something out there than can beat online slots after all? Many of us like the chance of playing with or against other players and that’s exactly what multi-player slots have brought to the table. But how do they function? Keep on reading and find out how multi-player slots work, you should try it.

Tisei has long been an outspoken critic of the bill, telling the State House News Service last year that Gov. Deval Patrick “spent a lot of time looking to promote sexy industries, like the movie industry, the casino industry, the life sciences, but at the same time we can’t lose sight that the broad-based industries in the state — communications, manufacturing, health care — are really the bread and butter of our state.”
