As Massachusetts prepares to spend its $11.7 billion share of "State and Local Fiscal Relief" provided by the stimulus bill, I'd like to look into the proposed $3,100,000 Manhan Rail Trail project in Northampton. Specifically I'd like to gather local opinions as to whether the shovel-ready proposal, that will create 18 jobs and a 2.4 mile recreational trail, is in keeping with or contrary to the spirit of the stimulus package goals. I hope to interview Stephanie Kraft editor of the Pioneer Valley Advocate, Mayor Clare Higgins of Northampton or Mayor Michael Tautznik of Easthampton, and maybe some people from one or all of these organizations:
