This is question for Councilor Nick Morganelli Jr. Please explain to me and everyone reading this post, what gives you the right to post someone's license plate number on the We Love Westfield Community Forum (Facebook page) because you believe they are not a good driver? I can't begin to tell you how inappropriate that is. I can understand getting frustrated on peoples driving but what you did is down right rude. The Westfield News reached out to Councilor Nick Morganelli for a response and here is what he had to say: I stand on the same position I have had since I ran for office in 2007. I will not put time into responding to rants where a person cannot put their name to it so we can talk about it like two adults over a cup of coffee. Many thanks to all who replied with positive comments on what I believe was my civic duty. Deputy AG hits Trump tells NRA he’s withdrawing back at critics from 2013 U.N.

Although, the Franklin Land Trust and Southwick officials have heard from some people in the community that they believe there could be contamination or hazardous material on the section of the 60 acres on the North Pond property. “You want to make sure there isn’t any contamination out there,” said Select Board Vice-Chairman Russ Fox. Hubbard added that they’re taking the input from the peo- ple in the community seriously. “Obviously we want to know if it’s true or not just like the town wants to know whether it’s true or not,” said Hubbard. As a result, Environmental Risk Advisors is looking into the possibility of conducting a phase two assessment. From Hubbard’s understanding, phase two could consist of a com- bination of ground radar or a test boring. Going to the mea- sures of constructing some full-scale digging could also be an option. A environmental site assessment is being conducted on the 60 acres that’s off the shore from North Pond on Congamond Lake.
