10 WJAR: "Improvements coming to Franklin intersection where teen was killed" (video)

via 10 WJAR

"Work is underway to improve safety at a dangerous intersection in Franklin less than one month after a 15-year-old boy was struck and killed on his bicycle there.

Oliver Lewis died on June 23 while crossing King Street near Interstate 495.

Flowers and other items still sit in his memory near the scene, and State Representative Jeffrey Roy hopes other changes in Lewis' memory are also starting to catch people's eye."

Mass Legislative Manufacturing Caucus Leaders and Industry Advocates Champion Future of Advanced Manufacturing at State House Lobby Day

Associated Industries of Massachusetts Honors Franklin's Plansee USA with Excellence in Manufacturing Award Amid Push for $425M Economic Development Package

(L- R) State Representative Jeff Roy,
State Senator Paul Feeney

Industry leaders and state legislators gathered for a packed Associated Industries of Massachusetts (AIM) lobby day at the State House to champion the future of manufacturing in the Commonwealth. Addressing a standing-room-only crowd of manufacturers, State Representative Jeff Roy (D-Franklin) and State Senator Paul Feeney (D-Foxborough), co-chairs of the Legislative Manufacturing Caucus, stood alongside AIM President and CEO Brooke Thomson to push back against the narrative that manufacturing is leaving the state, highlighting a major upcoming economic development bond package instead.

The day's events also featured a major celebration of local industrial achievement, as AIM presented its Excellence in Manufacturing Award to Plansee USA, a Franklin-based leader in powder metallurgy that specializes in producing high-melting refractory metals like molybdenum and tungsten for extreme-condition, high-tech applications. Plansee was specifically recognized for its innovation and proactive leadership in workforce development, notably through the establishment of its Manufacturing Training Center, which combats local CNC machining shortages by combining technical classroom instruction with real-world, hands-on experience.

 

The lobby day took place just hours before the Massachusetts House of Representatives took up a comprehensive end-of-session economic development bill (H5562). The proposed $425 million bond package directly targets the manufacturing sector's growth, including $100 million for the defense sector and national security infrastructure, $25 million for emerging technology and robotics, $25 million for applied artificial intelligence and quantum computing, and $25 million in capital support for expanding companies.

Industry leaders and state legislators gathered for a packed
Associated Industries of Massachusetts (AIM) lobby day at the State House

During the event, manufacturing representatives outlined five key legislative priorities to sustain this momentum: expanding vocational schools, funding the Center for Advanced Manufacturing, aligning state and federal tax codes, increasing capital grants, and scaling existing programs that are already working well.

Speaking to the crowded room of advocates, Rep. Jeff Roy emphasized the critical role state support will play in unlocking the industry's full potential:

"We are not a state that just thinks; we are a state that makes. When people think of Massachusetts, they often think of our incredible universities, our historic cities, and our medical breakthroughs. But what makes those breakthroughs real, what scales them, and what brings them to the world is the grit, precision, and passion of Massachusetts manufacturing."

The Legislature's pending economic development bill aims to directly bolster this vision by prioritizing regional competitiveness, advanced technology, supply chain support, and streamlined regulatory permitting to give Massachusetts manufacturers and award-winning employers like Plansee USA the edge they need in a rapidly evolving global market.

"Investing in industries like clean energy and Al allows our manufacturing sector to adapt, grow, and lead the nation," said Sen. Paul Feeney, addressing the advocates in attendance. "People say to me, 'Feeney, you have this idea, this vision that doesn't exist anymore.' It exists in every single one of you, and it exists in the work that you do in our communities.''

In Massachusetts, there are 228,000 hard-working men and women in manufacturing jobs across this Commonwealth. As Rep. Roy noted, "every single day, they clock in to push the boundaries of what is possible. And their impact is immense: manufacturing drives a massive 7.9% of the total Massachusetts GDP. This isn't just a legacy sector; it is a vital, living engine of our modern economy."

Hand crafted copy of the Declaration of Independence delivered to Town of Franklin

submitted by State Representative Jeff Roy:

"It was an incredible honor to deliver a remarkable piece of living history to the Town of Franklin! In celebration of our nation’s 250th anniversary, Franklin town officials received a meticulously crafted, handmade reproduction of the United States Declaration of Independence.

We presented this copy to Franklin so it may be recorded into our town history, displayed for our residents, and used to inspire the generations to come. May it serve as a daily reminder of our shared commitment to liberty and equality.

The broadside was printed by renowned historical printer Gary Gregory at the Museum of Printing in Haverhill, using a reproduction "Franklin-style" printing press and over 10,000 individual pieces of type painstakingly set by hand. The ink was specially formulated to match the Revolutionary era, and the linen/cotton paper was made one-by-one by hand to feel exactly like the original copies did in 1776.

In July of 1776, Massachusetts was the only state to distribute copies of the Declaration to every single town, asking ministers to read it from their pulpits and town clerks to handwrite the text into the Town’s Record Books. It was the exact moment our revolution transformed from a political debate into a shared public commitment. Keeping that exact tradition alive 250 years later, Massachusetts is once again the only state in the U.S. to distribute an authentically printed Declaration to all 351 of its cities and towns through the "Declaration Delivery Day" initiative.

Our hope is that this beautiful document will be kept safe and utilized every year for generations to come as we commemorate our nation’s founding moment."

Caleigh Keating Named 2026 Commonwealth Heroine by MA State Women’s Commission

Franklin resident Caleigh Keating was recently honored as a 2026 Commonwealth Heroine by the Massachusetts Women’s Commission. Nominated by State Representative Jeffrey N. Roy (Franklin-D), Ms. Keating was recognized alongside other distinguished women from around the Commonwealth at the State House on June 24th, 2026. 

Caleigh is the heartbeat behind the Children’s Programming at the Franklin Public Library. She holds the title of Youth Services Librarian and has been in that position since 2016. In her time there, Caleigh has transformed the public meeting rooms into an enchanted space where thousands of children look forward to summer reading, Saturday music classes, practicing public speaking in front of therapy dogs, engaging in baby-wearing dance parties, and feeling connected to their community. 

Under Caleigh’s thoughtful leadership, the Franklin Public Library has over 10,000 visitors annually and has lending opportunities for all learners. In addition to her time spent in the library, Caleigh has created a mobile program for those homebound, multi-language, and is the visiting librarian for each of the public schools.

“I'm honored to nominate Caleigh Keating as a 2026 Commonwealth Heroine,” said State Representative Jeffrey N. Roy.  “Her never-ending work at the Franklin Public Library creates a safe and engaging learning environment that is open and accessible to all the young people in the community. Her efforts have cemented her status as an upstanding pillar of the community and displays a perfect representation of a Commonwealth Heroine.”  

“The Commonwealth Heroines are women who don’t make the news, but make all the difference in their communities,” said MCSW Chairwoman Mary-dith Tuitt. “Thousands of women in every community across the Commonwealth perform unheralded acts on a daily basis that make our homes, neighborhoods, cities, and towns better places to live. Commonwealth Heroines use their time, talent, spirit, and enthusiasm to enrich the lives of others in their community. They are mentors, volunteers, and innovators - they are the glue that keeps a community together.”

This year, the Class of 2026 Commonwealth Heroines is comprised of a historic 145 women from across the state, the largest class awarded to date by the MCSW. These women are leaders in industry, business, nonprofit, advocacy, and more, and their work truly makes a difference in our local communities all across the state. Elected officials are encouraged to submit one woman from their constituency as a means of recognizing their invaluable efforts and extraordinary acts of service, who are making a big difference in their communities but not necessarily making the news.

Berg of Carpe Diem Technologies Honored by Rep. Roy and MassMEP

Rep Roy photo

State Rep. Jeff Roy was thrilled to join MassMEP in honoring John Berg of Carpe Diem Technologies in Franklin with the John “Jack” Healy Innovation Award in recognition of his outstanding dedication to strengthening and advancing manufacturing in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. MassMEP was also recognized for its 30 years of service and dedication to strengthening manufacturing across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Berg is a trusted leader in the Commonwealth’s manufacturing community, having served two consecutive terms on the MassMEP Board of Directors, including two years as Board Chair, where his vision and steady hand helped guide the organization’s mission to strengthen Massachusetts manufacturers. 

In 2018, Carpe Diem Technologies was awarded a $2.1 million Massachusetts Manufacturing Innovation Initiative (M2I2) grant to establish a statewide ecosystem for nanoimprinted microstructures supporting flexible hybrid electronics, positioning Massachusetts at the leading edge of next-generation advanced manufacturing.

Today, John continues to push the boundaries of what is possible on the shop floor, integrating artificial intelligence and NVIDIA Jetson Nano edge-computing platforms to deliver real-time quality inspection and process control, work that exemplifies the kind of bold, practical innovation Jack Healy championed throughout his career.

CommonWealth Beacon: "DiZoglio’s campaign to audit the Legislature is fueled by misinformation, political ambition, and personal attacks"

"TWO WEEKS AGO, the House passed legislation that establishes a framework for a constitutionally viable financial audit of the Legislature, and that subjects the Legislature and governor’s office to public records law for the first time.

The bill provides the state auditor, Diana DiZoglio, with all of the documents that she has requested and codifies into law an extensive list of documents that the Legislature must make available to the public.

To craft the audit section of this legislation, the House worked diligently to address the separation of powers concerns that have been raised by constitutional scholars, while working closely with good-government and transparency advocates at the ACLU of Massachusetts and Common Cause Massachusetts to draft the public records portion of the bill.

In other words, the House bill demonstrates the advantages that are unique to the legislative process – a system through which members of the public, experts, and advocates from across the political spectrum can come together to arm legislators with a baseline of facts and best practices in order to produce practical, effective legislation that is responsive to our constituents.

Since then, experts on this issue have argued that the House bill takes “an important step toward enhancing legislative transparency.” Upon passage, the ACLU of Massachusetts said that this approach will give residents the legal right “to documents providing a wealth of insight into legislative and gubernatorial operations, finances, audits, ethics, and where individual legislators stand on important policy decisions.”

The problem, though, is that you probably didn’t hear any of that."
