On March 9, HopNews released the tenth episode of our original podcast The HopTake.

On this episode, Peter and guest host Amy Thomas are joined by State Representative James Arena-DeRosa, who represents Middlesex’s 8th District, and covers the towns of Hopkinton, Holliston, Sherborn and Millis. Arena-DeRosa dropped by the pod to talk about the Eversource LNG plant, his work at the state house to help Hopkinton mitigate PFAS in our water, and his ideas for sustainably funding HCAM-TV.

In the news, we discuss the Select Board’s decision to take “no action” on the police chief, Governor Maura Healey swings through town, and we explore the plans for a replacement building for Hopkinton Drug. Plus, a brief history of the monuments that adorn the Town Common.
