Email just in from Mike Sullivan, reporting on his email from John Nunnari, announcing the passage in the House this morning of the special legislation to sell the former Medfield State Hospital site to the town.  Now the bill just needs Senate passage.  Looks like it is really going to happen, and soon. –

State hospital land disposition bill has passed the House and now goes to the Senate. Mike

Sen. Timilty opposes cell tower bill

Posted on June 20, 2014 | Comments Off on Sen. Timilty opposes cell tower bill

I had written to Senator Timilty to ask that he oppose the bill before the State Senate that had already passed in the House that removed local control over the siting of cell towers.  This morning I got his reply, indicating that he is working to sop passage of that bill.

Thank you for contacting me regarding your opposition to Senate bill 2183, An Act updating mobile broadband coverage in the commonwealth.  I appreciate your concern about this important matter.

 

Please know that I am also strongly opposed to this bill.  I have serious concerns about its impact on the local control of the siting process for telecommunications equipment and what that would mean for the towns I represent. I will be working with my colleagues to ensure that the bill will not be engrossed by the Senate in either its current form or as an amendment. I am hopeful that I will be able to convince them of the dangerous impact of this legislation.

Once again, thank you for your input.  Please do not hesitate to call or email should you have any questions or require more information.

With every good wish,

Senator Jim Timilty

Bristol & Norfolk

Chairman, Public Safety and Homeland Security
