Annual Williamstown Census Forms Arriving

Williamstown Town HallPrint Story | Email Story

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Williamstown 2013 Annual Street Listing will be mailed to all residents this week.  

The census is requirement of Massachusetts General Law and it is important that all residents return them to the town clerk's office promptly. Failure to respond to the census will result in removal from the active voting list and may result in removal from the voter registration rolls.

Residents should not use the census form for the purpose of voter registration. Any resident who is not registered to vote may register by going to the town clerk's office or by mailing a voter registration form to the town clerk's office.

Parents of college students or members of the military who are registered voters in Williamstown should be aware that deleting those children from their census form will remove them from the active voters list. Also, households that have dependent children who are not listed on the census form should add those children to the form and complete the information that pertains to each child. Information regarding the children is not a public record and is used only by the schools for enrollment purposes

All forms should either be mailed back in the enclosed return envelope or dropped off in the town clerk's office. Anyone who does not receive a census form in the mail within the next two weeks or who has questions pertaining to the form should call Town Clerk Mary C. Kennedy at Town Hall at 413-458-9341.

Letter: Vote for Someone Other Than Trump

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

I urge my Republican friends to vote for someone other than Donald Trump in November. His rallies are getting embarrassingly sparse and his speeches more hostile and confused. He's looking desperately for money, now selling poor-quality gold sneakers for $399. While Trump's online fans embrace him more tightly, more and more of the people who actually worked with Trump have broken with him, often issuing statements denouncing his motives, intellect, and patriotism.

Mike Pence is the most recent, but the list now includes William Barr, former attorney general (who compared him to a 9-year-old); former NSC Chairs Bolton and McMaster; former Defense Secretaries Mattis and Esper; former Chiefs of Staff Kelly and Mulvaney; former Secretary of State Tillerson; former Homeland Security chief Bossert; and former Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, who referred to Trump as a "wannabe dictator." This level of rejection by former colleagues is unprecedented in American politics.

Are these people just cozying up to the Establishment "Uniparty," as his fans would have it? No. Most of them are retired from politics. It's just that they see the danger most clearly. General Milley is right. Trump's most constant refrain is his desire to hurt his critics, including traditional conservatives. Although Liz Cheney lost her Wyoming seat in Congress, he now wants her jailed for investigating him.

This man should not be president of the USA.
