Luckily, Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow last Friday, so it appears an early spring is just around the corner. Additionally, I would like to wish Ms. G, Massachusetts’ official groundhog, a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her prediction next February.
Starting on Monday, my team and I hosted office hours at the Agawam Council on Aging. It was a great opportunity to hear directly from my constituents, and I encourage folks to attend my team’s weekly office hours throughout the district to discuss the issues that impact you and your community.
This past Wednesday was the Joint Rule 10 deadline. This is the date that all committees are required to determine which bills will move forward in the legislative process no later than the first Wednesday in February of the second year of the legislative session. As you can imagine, it was a busy week at the Statehouse, as I had to help report on all bills across the seven joint committees of which I am a member.
