FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - With one of college football's most watched rivalries coming to Gillette Stadium in December, thousands of military veterans and their families are coming to the state to catch the game.

But some have had their hotel reservations cancelled because the hotel is full, housing migrants, according to an area travel agent. 

Mark Mansbach of Hillsdale Travel told Spectrum News that his hotel block full of mostly veterans and their families was cancelled.

"I’m very distressed to learn that any veteran may have been moved from a hotel who had booked a hotel for that game. As I understand, it was a decision made by area hotels," explained Gov. Maura Healey (D-Massachusetts). "But I was very concerned and troubled to hear that any veteran may have had their room cancelled."

Clients of Hillsdale Travel who were interested in rebooking have found new hotel rooms. 

"The money that we are talking about in the sup (supplemental budget) is just the beginning. We have no idea what the total bill is going to be," said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). "The frustration is that the numbers change dramatically daily. And with that comes the amount of money that we need to pay for this. So, unless we get some help, we are going to have some difficult decisions to make."

 Both Healey and Mariano say they have asked the federal government for help. 

"We stressed to them that we need help. We asked them to help us in this fight to identify places to house people, to identify sources of money that we can access to help the immigrants that are moving into our school system, moving into our housing," said Mariano. "Anything that they can do to relieve the pressures that we are beginning to feel."

Without help from the federal government, the money budgeted for assistance will likely run out well before it was intended to.
