Email from Town Administrator Kristine Trierweiler about an improvement at the Town House. Making town services better all the time. Thanks to Georgia Colivas, Moe Goulet, and Bobby Kennedy, Jr.!
With the increase of people using the drop box at the town hall, Georgia worked with Bobby and Moe to move the box so that people can now drive up to use the box. This is not only more convenient, handicapped accessible and overall a much safer option.
We are now working on an additional “walk up” box for the front of town hall where we see more walking traffic.
Great teamwork!

The Supreme Judicial Court this morning shared its decision, Desrosiers v. The Governor, quoted from below –
CYPHER, J. On March 10, 2020, Governor Charles D. Baker,
Jr., declared a state of emergency in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts in response to the pandemic arising from COVID-19,
a respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus. See
Governor’s Declaration of Emergency, Executive Order No. 591.
He did so under the Civil Defense Act (CDA), St. 1950, c. 639,
and G. L. c. 17, § 2A. . .
In June 2020, the plaintiffs5 filed a complaint in the
Superior Court, seeking declaratory judgment and injunctive
relief and challenging the Governor’s declaration of a state of
emergency and the emergency orders as unauthorized and
unconstitutional. . .
We conclude that the CDA provides authority for the
Governor’s March 10, 2020, declaration of a state of emergency
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and for the issuance of the
subsequent emergency orders; the emergency orders do not violate art. 30 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights; and the
emergency orders do not violate the plaintiffs’ Federal or State
constitutional rights to procedural and substantive due process
or free assembly.

Medfield Select Board member
I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
For information on my other job as an attorney (personal injury, civil litigation, estate planning and administration, and real estate), please feel free to contact me at 617-969-1500 or Osler.Peterson@OslerPeterson.com.
