Pluta brings in new era in Holyoke

HOLYOKE -- Monday marked a new era in Holyoke city government with the inauguration of former City Councilor Elaine Pluta as mayor -- the first woman in the city's history to hold that position.

Her taking of the oath broke with recent traditions by having the ceremony in the auditorium of City Hall rather than Holyoke High School.

Before a standing room only audience, Pluta said she wanted the ceremony to take place under the 135 year-old stained glass windows representing the city's industry and resources that defined the city's past and are shaping its future.

Pluta pledged to be a steward of the taxpayer's funds and said she would "work tirelessly to guide our great city through the challenging times ahead."
