A state senator is encouraging Western Massachusetts residents to participate in the 83rd Citizens' Legislative Seminar.
Democratic State Senator Adam Hinds – who represents the Berkshire, Hampshire, Franklin and Hampden district – says the event is a tonic for Massachusetts residents frustrated by Washington gridlock and looking to learn more about how laws are crafted at the state level.
“It’s a two-day seminar, you get involved with Senators themselves and staff and really get to understand what happens day-to-day in the legislature,” said Hinds.
The seminar takes place October 22nd and October 23rd, and is hosted by Massachusetts Senate President Karen Spilka – also a Democrat. Applications can be submitted to Hinds’ office, and are due by August 26th at noon.
