Since announcing my candidacy to represent Precinct 9 on Greenfield City Council, I’ve met many neighbors to learn about the issues they care most about. I hear a resounding call to lower property taxes and bring back Greenfield’s once thriving downtown. Folks want housing they can afford, solutions for our homeless population, funding for our schools and senior center, more local opportunities for our students and stronger connections to their neighbors and community.

350 Mass Action endorses Max Webbe for City Council

GREENFIELD — 350 Mass Action, a grassroots political organization dedicated to supporting climate-focused candidates in Massachusetts, has endorsed Max Webbe for Greenfield City Council Precinct 9.

“Our state and local climate progress is under attack,” Dan Zackin, 350 Mass Action political coordinator, said in a statement. “We need municipal leaders who do not simply accept the broken status quo but are committed to finding ways forward in this difficult time.”

The movement to save wildlife from rodenticide poisoning is spreading in Franklin County.

Mass Audubon is raising awareness among residents that the increased use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides poses a growing threat to wildlife, as the impacts of the chemicals extend beyond the rodents, negatively affecting raptors and other predators that prey on rodents. The conservation organization is also recommending alternatives to rodenticide use and advising residents on how to turn information into action.
