Dedham TA Keegan Awaiting Response From FAA on Proposed Flight Paths
The period for input on the issue has been extended to March 15.
Dedham Town Administrator Bill Keegan has yet to hear a response from the Federal Aviation Administration regarding a proposed change in flight paths heading south from Logan Airport that lie directly over Dedham. A letter was written two weeks ago on behalf of the Board of Selectmen who expressed their concerns about redirecting flights over the town. “We haven’t had any real response back from the FAA about but apparently there’s been an extension of the comment period into March so I don’t know what’s happened beyond that,” Keegan said. The proposal, which FAA says the new routes will improve safety and efficiency, was announced Feb. 5 and the period for public comment has since been extended to March 15. For Keegan, if the new flight …

As Sequester Deadline Approaches Uncertainty Looms for Impact on Dedham
The sequester would automatically go into effect Friday, March 1 unless Congress takes action to stop it.
With uncertainty as to whether $85 billion in federal sequestration spending cuts will be stopped by Congress before Friday, officials in Walpole are keeping a close eye on the issue.

The White House recently released a statement outlining the impacts the sequester would have state-by-state, including Massachusetts. According to reports, one area that could be impacted the most on a local level are the schools. Massachusetts would lose $13.9 million in education funding and another $13.9 million in …

Blizzard 2013: Cleaning Up Dedham After the Storm
It's been a struggle for the town to remove the snow because there's no place to put it.
According to The National Weather Service, the Blizzard of 2013 left Dedham with 22 inches of snow. And the town is unsure about the time frame for cleanup. "It's difficult to predict at this time," Town Administrator Bill Keegan said. "Our crews are trying to remove a lot if snow now because there is no place to put it." Residents were expressing their frustrations on Facebook and Twitter because there are still some hazardous driving conditions like Washington Street, near Dedham Square.

Let's make sure to write that into the next TA job description so this embarrassment doesn't repeat itself. I would even happily waive the residency requirement for such a Wizard. more ›
