January 1, Boston Spending Sparks Outrage Over Migrant Wellness Perks

Wyatt’s Take

• Boston is facing criticism over a program that offers wellness-style benefits to certain migrants.
• The city is operating under a major budget shortfall while funding the initiative.
• Critics say the spending puts local taxpayers and families last.

Mayor Michelle Wu is drawing fire over a taxpayer-funded program for migrants that includes services like massages, yoga, and salon visits.

The initiative, known as Belonging Matters, has also stirred backlash because it focuses on trans and queer migrants.

Jim Polito, a Boston-area radio host, criticized the program in a recent interview.

This is a slap in the face to Americans who are struggling to afford basic needs while city leaders spend on perks for non-citizens. Middle America expects government to protect taxpayers first and spend limited dollars on the people who built their communities.

Americans know priorities matter, and local leaders should put working families ahead of expensive giveaways.
