What a post-pandemic Western Massachusetts might look like was the focus during a virtual town hall with state Sen. Jo Comerford on Monday, who said she’d like to see everyone work together to “build back better” while remaining committed to public health and emergency preparedness.
Comerford, D-Northampton, said she has filed bills or co-sponsored ones she believes build bridges to what’s ahead. She said she and her staff have also been working, since she took office in 2019, on health care, unemployment and eviction when it comes to individuals, while at the same time helping municipalities apply for and get grants, and work with state agencies.
