Senator James Timilty said he was satisfied with the Senate adopting Amendment GOV 135 into the proposed state budget last Thursday, calling it the “first step” in the process to get the Medfield State Hospital site cleaned up properly.
Senator James Timilty (D-Walpole) continues to stand by the Medfield community he represents during the town’s quest for complete remediation of the Medfield State Hospital property and complete removal of hazardous waste on the site. Last Thursday, the State Senate debated two amendments, GOV 134 and 135, that Sen. Timilty proposed to be included in the FY13 state budget regarding cleanup of the Medfield State Hospital property. The Senate adopted a revised version of GOV 135, which requires DCAM to report its cleanup plan for the state hospital site to legislature. If adopted into the final budget recommendation, legislature will check DCAM's plan to ensure it is based on a standard of unrestricted use for the hospital property, fully …

Jeff Bailey, an Attleboro pastor, is running for the State Senate seat currently held by James Timilty, who represents Medfield.
For Jeff Bailey, the theme of his campaign for state senator, will be "jobs, jobs, jobs," but not ones in the casino industry. Bailey, an Attleboro pastor, is running as a Republican against incumbent James Timilty (D-Walpole) for the senate seat, representing Attleboro, Foxborough, Mansfield, Medfield, Norton, Rehoboth, Seekonk, Sharon and Walpole. He announced his intentions to run Thursday night at the Lafayette House in Foxborough in front of a room full of supporters. "I'm not in favor of casinos," said Bailey, sitting just a little over a mile away from the site of the purposed Wynn Resort. "Even before the law was passed, I was against it. I'm against it on principle. It's not the kind of economic development we need." Bailey has …

Tuesday's Board of Selectmen meeting was postponed because Senator James Timilty was not able to attend due to the death of his sister.
The Medfield Board of Selectmen postponed Tuesday's meeting with Senator James Timilty and State Representative Dan Winslow due to the death of Senator Timility's sister, Kelly Timilty, earlier Tuesday after a brief illness. Assistant Town Administrator Kristine Trierweiler said the selectmen decided to postpone Tuesday's meeting out of respect for Sen. Timilty. Kelly Timilty was a member of the Governor's Council where she represented the Second District which includes Medfield. The selectmen were to discuss a possible casino in Foxborough, a proposed railroad expansion that would run from Worcester through Medfield to Foxborough, and the status of the Medfield State Hospital property. The meeting will be rescheduled at a later date.
Governor Councilor Kelly Timilty, of Roslindale, 49, passed away Tuesday.
Governor's Councilor Kelly Timilty passed away Tuesday at the age of 49, according to multiple media outlets. Timilty served under five governors as an elected official for District 2. She was a Roslindale resident. Through the years, Timilty worked with countless elected officials and residents, some of who have offered comments on her passing: "Kelly was a wonderful person from a public service family through her family history," said West Roxbury District Councilor Matt O'Malley. "She loved Boston, she loved her entire district. She was accessible. She was funny. She was just really, really a kind, kind person. I always enjoyed seeing her and catching up and talking about her family. She was always interested in what I was doing and …

Thanks Pete. Yes, the amendment itself is still in the early process of being included in the final FY13 budget and I agree with both of your points: It would seem legislature would be disappointed if DCAM does not opt for a complete remediation of the site but it also remains possible that legislature will not act against DCAM's plan. Time will tell and we will continue reporting as the process … more ›
