My name is Michael Henry, but I am commonly known as Mike. I’m a Western Massachusetts-based Internet and Technology Consultant, and an active member of my community.
The reason I created Montague Matters was to commuicate Town Meeting Information and to provide a history of my voting record as an elected member of Town Meeting. The people of Montague deserve transparency from their elected representitatives and I work hard on a daily basis to facilitate that.
