Eric Segundo, director of this town’s veterans services, is adding his voice to a growing number of advocates in opposition to a bill before the state legislature that would replace local veterans services offices with 25 regional centers funded through the state.

Segundo also serves as president of the Western Massachusetts Veterans Service Officers’ Association, and Hampden District 7 Commander of the Veterans of Foreign War.
