A veteran state legislator from western Massachusetts is leaving office.  Republican State Senator Michael Knapik of Westfield confirms he will resign Friday to take a new post in the administration at Westfield State University.  Knapik is in his 10th term. His departure will leave only 3 Republicans in the 40 member senate.    WAMC”s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Knapik this morning.

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.
