(The Westfield News/MassLive) As we all take this time to step away from the insanity that is life and spend time with our friends, family and the people we love, the staff of The Westfield News continues to ask the tough questions of our local public officials. In keeping with that practice, we asked leaders from Westfield and Southwick the toughest question of the day: What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?
“Above all else, I’m thankful for my family and my son Carson. Becoming a dad this year has changed the way I look at the world in so many different ways. It’s been truly incredible and I am so thankful to have the family that I do.” – John Velis, state senator
