Federal legislators told the Opioid Task Force of Franklin County and the North Quabbin Region on Wednesday that addiction should be examined through the lens of mental health, not moral failing, and that it is imperative that programs like the ones the local task force offers be funded.
The task force met virtually with local agency heads and state and local legislators to discuss what some of the continuing needs are when it comes to helping individuals and their families through addiction and recovery.
“We’ve been doing groundbreaking work,” said Sheriff Christopher Donelan, who is a co-chair of the Opioid Task Force. “But there are still deficiencies in the work being done with the addicted community.”

GREENFIELD A typically private meeting at Greenfield Community College was subject to a “Zoombombing” last month that broadcast hate speech and offensive graphics, according to officials at the college.
The Zoombombing on Feb. 8 interrupted an All College meeting which typically is a private meeting held monthly with administrators, faculty and staff that was held to award the four annual Martin Luther King Jr. “Bright Lights and Living the Dream” awards, according to the GCC Professional Association, the union that represents faculty and educational professionals at the college. Because of that, the honorees and their guests were invited to the meeting.
