Letter: Why I Support Paul Mark
I've known Paul Mark all his political life, and we couldn't ask for a better person to be our next state senator in Boston. Paul is an experienced and practical progressive who will hit the ground running in the state Senate.
Letter: Political Bias
Do you only report about Democrat candidates or am I missing your reporting on Republican candidates some how?
Letter: Andrea Harrington for DA
The election of Andrea Harrington was part of a wave of progressive DAs across the country elected by people who recognize that our justice system is too often unjust and in need of meaningful change.
Letter: Playing Ukraine National Anthem at Tanglewood on Parade Was Bad Idea
While I would certainly concede that Russia is the worst of the two countries in terms of human rights abuses, Ukraine has many despicable aspects to it of which I am highly confident almost all the people standing were ignorant.
Letter: Letter Writer Has Confidence in Restaurant Architect
I have crossed paths with Brian MacKay-Lyons over a period of more than 40 years. His award-winning work has consistently been of the highest quality and especially responsive to its setting.
Letter: Eleanor Sonsini Shelter Left Out
Why isn't the Sonsini Shelter given the same funds and publicity? Am I missing something?
Letter: Abortion Is Health Care
Abortion is health care, and is a basic human right that has been protected by Roe for the past 50 years.
Letter: Williamstown Planning Board Proposals
Perhaps the Planning Board should have spent more time reaching out to all the town's citizenry long before any town meeting.
Letter: Re-Elect Gordon Hubbard to Lanesborough Select Board
I support the re-election of Gordon Hubbard to the Select Board in the town of Lanesborough.
Letter: Why Williamstown's Zoning Proposals Should be Tabled
I am writing in response to Peter Beck's letter of June 12, which argues that at town meeting, Williamstown residents should "discuss" the 10 articles the Planning Board has put forward and then vote them up or down.
Letter: Zoning Proposals in Williamstown 'Not Ready for Prim Time'
To be frank, most of these articles are simply not ready for prime time.
Letter: Let Town Meeting Vote on the Zoning Proposals
The Planning Board split its work into 10 articles because they're not an interconnected, inseverable mass. They are all about allowing more homes to be built in Williamstown, but they do that work in different ways, in different parts of town.
Letter: Not NIMBY, It's Common Sense
We simply ask our fellow residents to wait a year until our $180,000 Comprehensive Town Plan is complete before approving radical changes. Shouldn't zoning implement our Comprehensive Plan, not the other way around?
Letter: Williamstown Planning Board Proposals
A holistic approach to town zoning is far preferable. Selectively passing one or two of the failed Planning Board's proposed zoning changes amounts to spot zoning. All related articles should be tabled or voted down.
