It’s time again for the annual Advocate tradition of giving halos to the good and horns to the bad. The year 2019 closed out the decade with some highs, with local activists going down to the border and speaking out on climate issues, residents in Longmeadow saying no to a destructive pipeline project — and just last week — Trump finally getting IMPEACHED! There were also dastardly deeds done, including derogatory remarks by Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno and his ongoing absence for certain sectors of the city, allegations of wage theft by IHEG owner Eric Suher, and attempts by the federal government to completely remove any environmental regulations on the books. Also check out our In Memoriam page featuring some we said goodbye to this year, including Frances Crowe and Michaelann Bewsee.
