On the eve of the inauguration of President Joe Biden, the Springfield Democratic City Committee hosted a virtual gathering to preview legislative priorities for 2021.
The forum was a platform for members of the city’s all-Democratic Beacon Hill delegation to speak on their legislative priorities. But, the program began with a nod toward the changes in Washington from U.S. Rep. Richard Neal, the Springfield Democrat, who is chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
This is an exciting time, said Neal. Some of us, myself included, we ve waited a long time for a Democratic president, Democratic Senate and Democratic House. I intend to meet this moment.
