Today, the Department of Public Works is on Sessions Street installing temporary speed humps. Along with other neighbors, I’m glad to know that traffic will be calmer and that we can cross the street to Sessions Street Park more safely. Thanks for coming out on a Saturday to get this done, DPW!

As a state, we have allowed the utility - an out of state corporation - to basically run our energy policy for too long. Residents & small businesses are struggling with sky rocketing prices, while the utility convinces govt leaders to roll back investments in energy efficiency & clean energy.
