Letter: Eleanor Sonsini Shelter Left Out

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

So I see the story about the ground breaking for a new building for the [Berkshire] Humane Society and I can't help but wonder, 'Why are funds and news articles always going to/about the Humane Society?'

Why isn't the Sonsini Shelter given the same funds and publicity? Am I missing something? Sonsini needs a new facility, Sonsini needs funds!

Dalton Voters to Decide Moveable ADUs at Special Town Meeting

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — It's time for voters to decide if they want to permit mobile accessory dwelling units in town and a special town meeting has been set to do just that. 
 
For more than two years, Amy Turnbull has been advocating to amend the town's current bylaws to allow mobile tiny homes but has met obstacles delaying the effort.  
 
On Monday, June 29, at 7 p.m., voters will convene at Wahconah Regional High School to decide on the topic, and four other items centered around funding for the Clean Air Committee and the town's Department of Public Works roof repair project. 
 
Turnbull initially presented this item at the annual town meeting but it was "tabled" so a public hearing could be held. 
 
Like many meetings before, this hearing resulted in little movement as the Planning Board decided to neither support or oppose the proposed bylaw.  
 
During the signing of the warrant, Select Board member John Boyle expressed his hesitation about placing this item on a special town meeting warrant, citing historically low attendance at such meetings.
 
"It's very important and going to be a very controversial thing … Important issues should be at an annual town meeting," he said.
