FY20 budget keeps state on good path I was proud to be a part of the unanimous vote to approve the FY20 budget. Funded at $43.1 billion, the budget makes major investments in education, housing, substance use disorder services, health care, and other areas while projecting a more than $476 million deposit into the Stabilization Fund – bringing the fund's balance to more than $3 billion to safeguard the future of vital programs and services. The budget includes the largest annual increase ever ($269 million) in K-12 education spending support through the state's Chapter 70 account, drug pricing control reforms, and directs $50 million to help stabilize the nursing home industry. Franklin and Medway will receive state assistance in a number of areas as well. For Franklin, the state is "hitting the reset button" on charter school reimbursements, and will provide nearly $1 million in charter tuition reimbursement in addition to $28,416,161 in Chapter 70 aid. Franklin will also get $50,000 for the SAFE Coalition to provide support, education, treatment options, and coping mechanisms for those affected by substance use disorder; $100,000 for the construction of a parking lot at the Franklin State Forest; $58,000 for its Substance Abuse Task Force; $25,000 for the Franklin Downtown Partnership; and $50,000 to develop and implement a vaping prevention program in the Franklin public schools. Medway will see $10,501,419 in Chapter 70 aid; $170,000 for the purchase of public safety equipment; $135,000 for accessibility and safety improvements at the Lovering Heights Senior Citizens Complex; $25,000 for the community farm and $100,000 for programs for at-risk students in the Medway Public Schools, including the T.H.R.I.V.E. Substance Abuse Prevention Program. Massachusetts is dealing with several important societal issues, like the opioid epidemic, public safety, aging infrastructure, and an aging population. The budget strikes a balance that takes on these challenges and maintains our commitment to our communities, our children, our seasoned citizens, and the disabled as well as advancing economic development and the arts.  Copyright © 2019 State Rep Jeff Roy, All rights reserved.   You are receiving this email because you either contacted our office or indicated you wanted to keep updated on the 10th Norfolk District and things going on at the State House.

Hockomock Field Hockey: Players to Watch - Ledwith, Lewandowski, FHS

HockomockSports.com Staff has published their preview of the "Hockomock Field Hockey: Players to Watch in 2019"


Maeve Ledwith, Senior – Franklin

"Franklin senior Maeve Ledwith has become one of the top defensive players in the Hock and she leads a strong defensive unit that was just minutes away from upsetting Walpole in last year’s South semifinal and is poised to make a run at this year’s Kelley-Rex division title.

Ledwith is a vocal leader at the back and her speed and stick skills make her tough to get by and also tough to take the ball off of once she gets it. Ledwith also showed off her vision to start Franklin transitions. The Panthers return a strong core from the team that was so close to making the South final last year and Ledwith’s leadership as a three-year starter gives the Franklin defense an edge that will make them tough to score against."

Amanda Lewandowski, Junior – Franklin

"During last year’s state tournament, Amanda Lewandowski emerged as one of the team’s most dynamic attacking threats, scoring five goals as Franklin made a run to the South semifinal and nearly pulled off an upset of Walpole to reach the final. Lewandowski scored five of her 13 goals during the tournament, stepping up when the Panthers needed her the most, to spark that playoff push.

Lewandowski also added 13 assists and her 26 points for the season was among the best in the league. Although Franklin will have to manage the graduation of do-everything midfielder Cassi Ronan, Lewandowski leads a still relatively young forward group that is capable of firing in the goals and firing the Panthers back into contention for the Kelley-Rex title. If she can carry over the momentum from last year’s tournament, Lewandowski may find herself at the top of the league scoring charts this fall."
