Keep it up, State Rep. Davis!

It is great to see her building upon Smitty Pignatelli’s excellent work in improving emergency medical/ambulance services, and vital for the Berkshires with its aging population.

To the editor:

I would like to commend State Rep. Leigh Davis for her efforts as our new 3rd Berkshire District state representative. Right out of the gate, Leigh has filed a flurry of bills. Notably, these include five initiatives to improve emergency medical/ambulance services. It is great to see her building upon Smitty Pignatelli’s excellent work in this regard, and vital for the Berkshires with its aging population.

I read in the coverage that some suggested to her that she not file legislation in her freshman term. I am so glad she ignored that advice and got right to work to solve the challenges facing the Southern Berkshires and the rest of Massachusetts.

Nice job, Leigh. Keep it up!
