The power of activism was demonstrated at the Hampshire-Franklin County Municipal Conference held Saturday April 7, 2007 at the Clarion Hotel and Conference Center on Atwood Drive in Northampton. Governor Deval Patrick, U.S. Congressman John Olver, and Senator Stan Rosenberg all addressed aspects of the themes they observed as they entered the gathering, those being peak oil, highway expansion, and education funding.
