Government Week

Part of our mission is to provide the public with access to the processes and work of local government. This week was no exception, beginning on Monday when we started our outreach to all the candidates running in Greenfield's election in June. Within the next two weeks, we plan to have a dedicated page on our website that will include a picture, mini-biography, and video statement for each person standing for office. We really want to be your resource for making an informed decision on June 8th so please let us know if you have any suggestions.

The Mayor's Office also wants the public to stay informed so, on Tuesday afternoon, Mayor Martin brought Paul Hellmund from the Conway School of Landscape Design into our studio for a "Mayor's Memo" shoot. The two of them discussed plans for the use of the town's Davis Street property and the full video can be watched here.

Finally, on Thursday night we covered the Greenfield School Committee Meeting at Greenfield High School. There was a big crowd for part of the meeting as Greenfield teachers showed up en masse in response to a publicized agenda item, "Communication with GEA (Attorney) about Open Communication". That item, however, was moved into an Executive Session. If you watch the rebroadcast of the meeting on Saturday at 1pm on Cable Channel 15 you can see the school committee review their policies, learn about protective headgear for the GHS Football Team, and find out about plans to look at the issue of bullying.

That's all for this week. Stay tuned for more inside scoops.
