Former Chairman Frederick J. Macleod is held responsible for many bills and has used his personal funds to cover campaign costs.

Foss called Fitzgerald an opportunist and faced pressure in Springfield and Westfield as party leaders weighed the effect on local appointments and a 54 hour bill. Foss plans to reappoint Commissioner O Meara and has floated Macleod for office, with June 5 as a key deadline.
