Letter: Re-Elect Gordon Hubbard to Lanesborough Select Board

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

I support the re-election of Gordon Hubbard to the Select Board in the town of Lanesborough.

Mr. Hubbard prepares himself well by reading all the agenda materials before the Select Board meetings. He is very transparent, has no personal agenda, has an open mind and the business acumen that has worked well with the fiscal responsibilities of the Board of Selectmen.

Gordon has attended Planning Board, Zoning Board, Finance Committee, Recreation Committee, Board of Health, and Economic Development Committee meetings and every Business-to-Business Event while serving as a selectman in this town. He is very sincere in his desire to continue serving the community and he has always been courteous and a true gentleman when responding to the public at these meetings.

Given my roles in town government serving on the Economic Development Committee as the chair, member of both the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals and having attended just about every Select Board meeting over the past several years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the differences in the candidates in their preparation for the meetings they are involved in. I've also read Mr. Hubbard's platform, goals, experience, and education on www.reelectgordonhubbard.com.

Gordon is by far the more prepared, experienced, and professional of the two candidates in this race.

The town of Lanesborough has some very serious issues that require the best, most qualified person for the job. Transparency and accountability are very important when running for public office at this high level! Gordon Hubbard is by far that person.

I'll cast my vote on Tuesday, June 21, for Gordon Hubbard, Select Board member for three more years! Your vote is important – remember to vote – get the vote out – remember, every vote has an impact on the future of our town.

Lanesborough Faces Two Lawsuits Following ZBA Decisions

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — The town is facing two lawsuits following recent decisions made during heated Zoning Board of Appeals meetings. 
 
Tension has been high in town surrounding the language of some of its bylaws, specifically the sign and short-term renal bylaws. 
 
One case is following a determination made in January, during which the board voted to uphold the building inspector's finding that the sign attached to Lanesborough Local Country Store's vintage pickup truck violated the town's sign bylaws.
 
The second lawsuit followed the Zoning Board's February decision to uphold a cease-and-desist order against Second Drop Farm for short-term rentals. The board argued that, in the absence of specific bylaw regulations, such rentals are not permitted.
 
Both suits outline several points made by the applicants during their respective meetings. 
 
Lanesborough Local Country Store's lawsuit was filed on behalf of Kurt Hospot, as trustee of Normal K Trust, and store owner Tyler Purdy by attorney Anthony Doyle. 
 
It demands that the board's decision be overturned and that they be allowed to have the advertisement attached to the motor vehicle at its current location.
