Think of it, if 20,000 voters appeared at the polling stations to vote and only 10,000 voted for one office. The message that would ring loud and clear is only 50% of the voter turnout liked the options presented. Maybe then more folks would come forward and run ag…

Got the call this weekend David Donoghue has finale taken out papers to run again. It looked like he wasn’t going to but at last six months later he has pulled them. Looks like it is going to be a good race to November. I appreciate all the e-mails and support that has been coming in. Please keep spreading the word to your family and friends in Holyoke. If everybody tells five folks about why we need to vote for a change in this position it would go along way.
I'm picking up the lawn signs this…

2. Employees have their Life Insurance policy’s cance…
