Greenfield Mayor Endorses Groundbreaking Cannabis Tax
Greenfield Mayor Ginny Desorgher has thrown her administration's support behind new legislation that aims to improve aging municipal and public safety buildings in small towns across Massachusetts. The proposed bill, titled "An Act Creating a Municipal and Public Safety Building Authority," suggests using a portion of state marijuana excise tax revenues to fund the construction and renovation of critical public facilities like city halls, fire stations, and police departments.
Under the proposal, one-third of all revenue collected from the state's marijuana excise tax would be directed into a dedicated fund. That fund would specifically support cities and towns—especially smaller ones—that are struggling to repair or replace outdated municipal infrastructure.
For Mayor Desorgher, the need is immediate and personal. In an interview with Western Mass News, she described serious issues affecting Greenfield City Hall, including weeks without heat during winter, a sewer backup into the building, a collapsed stairwell at the entrance, and even a bathroom ceiling collapse just last week.
