FEB. 21, 2025.....Just about seven weeks into his first term in the House, Rep. Ken Sweezey is preparing to forge ahead on a number of issues that range from amending the state's zoning law to repealing recent gun reforms.
​
Sweezey, who worked in forensic science for law enforcement before joining the House, is one of 25 Republicans in the House. He represents the town of Duxbury and portions of the towns of Hanson, Halifax, Marshfield and Pembroke — four communities with representatives from both parties.
HANSON – The Supreme Judicial Court may have ruled that the MBTA Communities Act is legal, if flawed, towns like Hanson are turning to their legislators for help in addressing those flaws.
Still, Town Counsel Elizabeth Lydon cautioned that, because the SJC’s ruling was that the statute is legal, “likey that any regulations that come out of the statute – as long as they fall within the parameters of the statute – will be deemed legal as well.”
State Rep. Ken Sweezey, R-Pembroke, also provided the Select Board with an update on the new legislative session so far, during the Tuesday, Jan. 28 meeting.
Host/Producer Kevin Tocci is joined by new State Representative Ken Sweeney as he shares details about his first couple of weeks at the State House, filing his first bills, attending events in the district and much more.
"This simply just makes it safer to make sure that there's no reentry going on." Massachusetts State Rep Sweezey proposed legislation to enhance cooperation among local & state law enforcement with ICE.
