“This afternoon I toured some of the hardest hit areas of my district and the damage from Hurricane Irene across my district is awful.   Many roads are still impassable and some neighborhoods are literally being held hostage by downed power wires and trees,” said Representative Linsky. “I am quite concerned about the lack of response from NStar and the lack of progress on the repairs. No power until Saturday is unacceptable.”  

Representative Linsky stated that all office hours are open to any residents of Natick, Sherborn, or Millis who may have questions or concerns regarding cleanup and restoration efforts in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene. He also invites all constituents to call him at his State House office at (617) 722-2575, at his Natick office at (508) 647-5600, or to email him directly at David.Linsky@MaHouse.Gov
