      Policymakers in Massachusetts are looking for ways to reduce the state’s high health care costs.

      A 13-member delegation took a two-day fact-finding visit to Minnesota.

      WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with State Senator James Welch of West Springfield, who is chairman of the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
