The untold story...The Bridge-Tunnel Commission financed this project by issuing about $200 million in tax free bonds. By 1970 they defaulted on about $100 million of the bonds, many of which were held by local residents, including my grandparents.

Recognition for our Public Safety Dispatchers-

City - County - State - Federal

(Worcester County Sheriff's Office:) ... we want to recognize the critical work our dispatchers do. They are the first contact for our residents, in potentially the worst day of their life. They are the calm voice on the other end of the phone reassuring callers that they are not alone, and that help is on the way, all while ensuring officers receive crucial information to respond. They are extremely important in determining how each call is going to come to completion. Our office is extremely grateful for their service to us all.

They perform an invaluable job. We see you and we thank you!

Much appreciation to our dispatch brothers and sisters!!
