John Harney, a member of the State Hospital Advisory Committee’s legislation subcommittee and also a close friend of Senator Timilty, reports that the Senator expects the Medfield State Hospital water tower and well fields legislation to finally be passed by next Thursday. Under the terms of the mediated clean up settlement, DCAMM agreed that the town should get at no cost land at the MSH site on which to construct a replacement water tower, and the former tubular well fields off Colonial Road.
This emailed update from John this afternoon:
Pete,
Thank you for the accurate summary of the points you made at Tuesday’s meeting. I did, notwithstanding the CANCELLED notice on the web, watch the [Board of Selectmen] meeting.
I had another long talk with Senator Timilty last evening. He is, like we are, frustrated by the “one more inquiry” tact that is apparently being taken on the water tower and well-field legislation but is determined to see it through all the hurdles including engrossment and enactment in both chambers and signed by the Governor before 3/10. He now looks to action in the Senate on Tuesday and in the House on Thursday. Let us devoutly trust that matters so work out.
It is good that you are keeping a very sharp eye on all that is involved.
peace,
John
