Two Updates from Senator Spilka
State Senate President Karen Spilka shared these updates during the past week.
A Thank You to Tom Chipman
Under normal circumstances, a Parks Commissioner who has selflessly served as a volunteer for their community for over 14 years would have some formal recognition at the end of their final term. A gathering with cocktails and stories of hard-earned accomplishments to celebrate seems appropriate. Perhaps even some parting gifts from those he served with or those who worked for him. Unfortunately, this is 2020-2021, so when Tom Chipman stepped away from the Parks Commission last May, he did so quietly, with a heartfelt round of thank you’s at the end of a Zoom meeting.

Last week, key legislation was passed on both the state and federal level to support our economic recovery from COVID-19.
