Important notice for those interested in western M Important notice for those interested in western MA passenger rail - virtual public hearing this Wednesday!

Repost from @jocomerfordma
Please help spread the word:

There will be a virtual public *workshop* for the Northern Tier Passenger Rail Study on Wednesday, January 11, 2023, at 6 p.m. via Zoom. Information about registering for this meeting is available on the Study website: https://www.mass.gov/northern-tier-passenger-rail-study.

(Passenger rail: North Adams to Boston)

It's VITAL that we help show public support for this project.

At this public workshop, the study team will present the two initial service plan alternatives and evaluation framework. Feedback received will be used to develop four additional service plan alternatives. The meeting materials will also be available after the meeting on the website. Please note that this virtual public meeting will be recorded.

As a reminder, MassDOT is conducting a study to examine the benefits, costs, and investments necessary to implement passenger rail service from North Adams to Greenfield and Boston, with the speed, frequency, reliability, and climate benefits necessary to be a competitive option for travel along this corridor.

Congratulations also to the members of the Governor's Council who were sworn in as well, including western MA's own Tara Jacobs!

MORE OF THIS: A wonderful surprise IN the State Ho MORE OF THIS: A wonderful surprise IN the State House! A new piece of art, loaned by Simmons University, depicting real women ("Notable Women from Boston") who made a difference in their communities and our commonwealth! Check it out on the 4th floor outside the House Gallery. Fabulous!! 

Hoping this is a beginning of a trend to get more art and portraits of people that represent our diverse and wonderful Commonwealth on the walls in the State House. I'm also excited by - and curious about - the process of loaning and borrowing the art... it bodes well for more additions by increasing the capacity of the State House to exhibit this kind of work.

Thank you @simmonsuniversity!

Scenes from the State House early in the morning o Scenes from the State House early in the morning of January 4. The red carpet has been laid for the Governor Baker's "lone walk" which will take place later that day after the legislature is sworn in. He'll walk on the carpet from his office, thru the state house, out to the steps and to the common. The carpet also signals that today is his last day as Governor and is a visual reminder of the events to come! 

Also: what a beautiful building!
A flurry of posts from the past week. Started the A flurry of posts from the past week. Started the new year with joining Gov-elect Healey and Lt Gov-Elect Dricoll in Springfield as part of their pre-inauguration community service activities where they were distributing gifts to children as part of 3 Kings Day celebrations at the New North Citizens Council Youth Center. Glad to join colleagues to celebrate.

I had a chance recently to visit @bfp1969 Berkeley I had a chance recently to visit @bfp1969 Berkeley Food Pantry, donate some food, meet their director, Dharma Galang and their fabulous volunteers as they prepared to distribute food in person and by delivery. Berkeley, like the Amherst Survival Center, also conducts a Neighborhood Food Project and recovers and receives donations every day from local grocery stores. Thank you Dharma for welcoming me and inviting me to volunteer next time!
CONGRATULATIONS to the towns of Amherst and Granby CONGRATULATIONS to the towns of Amherst and Granby Fire Departments for receiving state SAFE Grants for FY23. The SAFE (Student Awareness of Fire Education) programs promote fire and life safety education for children and older adults, who are most vulnerable to burns, injury and death stemming from fires and related hazards. These programs have empowered our students and seniors with the knowledge they need to keep themselves and others safe.
Much appreciation to the fire departments for engaging in this important public safety work and for making the effort to bring these state resources to our communities. Thank you! 
I love this program, it not only teaches students and elders how to survive a fire, but engages family members to develop safe plans together. @amherstfirefighters @amherstfirema

Nina Hirshberg is a 5th grader who successfully or Nina Hirshberg is a 5th grader who successfully organized and petitioned her Amherst elementary school to get the food service to stop using plastic bags (and instead use paper!). 

I asked her what reason  they initially gave for not switching, she told me it took too much time to open the paper bags.

I asked how she convinced them. Her response: a group of students, led by her, offered to shave 5-10 minutes from their recess to unfold the paper bags! Now her school’s cafeteria no longer uses plastic bags!

Repost from @washingtonpost • Alonzo Arteaga’s Repost from @washingtonpost

Alonzo Arteaga’s title is general manager of a small hotel in Topeka, Kan. But these days, he doubles as a housekeeper, making beds, vacuuming floors and laundering towels to fill an ever-worsening worker shortage.

Like other businesses around the country, Senate Luxury Suites is struggling to keep going without critical employees. The hotel is down to three housekeepers, half the number it had before the pandemic, and Arteaga blames a years-long immigration slowdown, which he says has made an already tough situation worse.

A shortfall of immigrants is worsening widespread labor shortages and hobbling the U.S. economy at a time when more than 10 million jobs remain unfilled, particularly in low-paying and physically demanding industries such as hospitality, agriculture, construction and health care.
