What will Hadley look like in five years, or 10? What kind of town will we leave our families and the next generation? I believe that Hadley is at a crossroads, and I’m running for Planning Board to help chart a path forward. Like other western Massachusetts towns, Hadley is facing immense pressure — much of it generated from Boston — to reshape our communities, to conform to a vision driven largely by state politicians. We’re being forced to bear the brunt of economic, housing, and energy crises that we did not create and that we’re not in a position to fix. I believe that the residents of Hadley should drive decisions about our future, not state politicians who rarely, if ever, set foot in town.
