Otis, Becket Residents State Their Opinions
 OTIS, Mass. — Residents from the towns of Otis and Becket gathered at Town Hall on Monday night to let state officials know how they felt the utility companies responded to the big ice storm on Dec. 11 that crippled many parts of the state and left thousands upon thousands without electricity for more than a week in many cases.
Here in the Berkshires, the response of Western Mass Electric Co. is among utilities that will be under review by the state Department of Public Utilities. Utilities officials believe they responded appropriately.
WMECO President Peter Clarke said they "largely executed their storm plan" but some residents were critical of the utility's response, according to reports in The Berkshire Eagle. Local officials had mostly positive things to say about WMECO's response.
