NORTHFIELD --- Residents are asked to come to Town Hall Thursday, so 
their voices may carry all the way to the Statehouse.

Those who would like to support a state bill to bring broadband 
communications to the unserved areas of partially served towns have 
their chance to be heard.

Many in "partially served" towns have worried recently that they will 
not be included in the state's efforts to bring broadband cable and 
Internet access to western Massachusetts towns.

Introduced by Gov. Deval Patrick, the IT Bond Bill for Universal 
Broadband Access began in the House of Representatives.

At 7 p.m. Thursday in Town Hall, Rep. Paul Mark will attend a meeting of 
the town's Electronics Communications Committee. He is compiling 
constituents' testimony, to bring before the House in an upcoming 
hearing at the Statehouse.

Those who would like their comments added to the record may bring signed 
letters indicating their support to Thursday's meeting for Rep. Mark to 
take.

They should be addressed to: Chairman Antonio F.D. Cabral House 
Committee on Bonding, Capital Expenditures and State Assets, Room 466, 
Massachusetts State House, Boston, MA 02133.

Those who are able may also appear in person at the Statehouse hearing 
in Boston, at 11 a.m. on Sept. 18.
