16 Acres Friends: Neighbors from 39 Parker own a wicked cute mini-mule that just escaped. He went back into the backwoods, and is headed towards Mills Road or end of Parker St. He is super friendly, named Truffles, but super hard to catch. He is brown and fluffy and about the size of a large dog. This has been reported to SPD,. Keep your eyes peeled and call 311 if anybody sees or call the owner at (571) 406-8530.

Join FOCUS Springfield's host of Government Matters Mike Dobbs as he speaks with State Treasurer and Receiver General of Massachusetts, Deborah Goldberg. You'll learn about one of the most important state offices that most people aren't very aware of. Viewers are reminded that this position is on the ballot for this year's November 3 state election.

The mission at the Office of the State Treasurer and Receiver General of Massachusetts is "to prudently manage and safeguard the state's public deposits and investments through sound business practices for the exclusive benefits of our citizens, and perform these duties with integrity, excellence, and leadership."

In Episode -101 Mike Dobbs interviews Claiborne Williams and Richard Mann who are Co-Founders of FD Stonewater, the developer planning to build the City of Springfield's new courthouse (known as Liberty Junction). To be clear, one thing they are NOT discussing is the related lawsuit. The discussion concentrates on the project, the companies historybuilding courthouses and federal buildings, the stated goals to use local organized labor and also hire women and business owned entities. One very interesting fact is that this organization is used to being the "outsider" on projects. They plan to engage the community to learn about their wants and needs. I think we'll be hearing quite a bit more from them in the future. Stay tuned.
