I hope all of you have been enjoying the sunny weather this week. Hopefully that means the spring is just around the corner.
My team and I have been all over the district this week. As the discussion surrounding the HEROS Act goes forward, we have been meeting with veterans and other stakeholders throughout the commonwealth to find ways for the legislation to best benefit all involved. As chair of the Veterans and Federal Affairs Committee, and a veteran myself, the wellbeing of my fellow veterans and servicemembers is one of my top priorities as an elected official. I look forward to continuing the work on this legislation and all legislation to help my fellow veterans.
Yesterday marked the 250th anniversary of the incorporation of the town of West Springfield. A quarter of a millennium is quite the milestone! Festivities took place at Clark Field and saw performances from school bands, food from local vendors, and it all culminated in a fireworks show at the end of the evening! This was an amazing time and is just the start of a series of events to celebrate the town of West Springfield’s birthday throughout this year. I’m looking forward to all that’s to come this spring and summer over in West Side!
