A piece of personal news: I join the State Committee on February 10

January 29, 2009 By michael-forbes-wilcox

For a more extended comment, see my post here.

The Executive Summary is that I am “the Newest State Committee Member Representing the BHF (Berkshire, Hampshire, and Franklin) District” — I am filling a seat that was vacated by the recent death of 82-year-old long-time member Peter Arlos.

For those of you not famililar with my District, it’s the westernmost in the state, comprising about 25% of the land area of the state, and has within it 58 caucuses. Ben Downing is our Senator.

I look forward to continuing my work with all the good people I’ve met over the years who do the work of the people via the MassDems.

    The SDC will be the better for your joining it – and what a huge district you have – for perspective, my district has only five cities or towns.

      and the bat phone.

      p>Last year on Superbowl Sunday, Congressman Ed Markey was speaking to a group. It got a touch rowdy. Eventually the the cops were called.  I mentioned to sco that a couple of mutual acquaintances, both DSC members, had arrived midway through the forum.  He wanted to know if they had been called on our DSC bat phone to protect the Congressman!

      p>Seriously, it was not nearly as bad as the coverage would lead you to believe.
