Letter: Political Bias

Letter to the Editor07:00PM / Tuesday, August 09, 2022Print Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

Do you only report about Democrat candidates or am I missing your reporting on Republican candidates some how? The Berkshire Eagle is a left-favoring periodical that I've learned to simply ignore because of their bias. Please clarify my dilemma sooner than later.

I appreciate your efforts & overall coverage but it appears a political bias is showing itself.

Editor's note: iBerkshires covers all local candidates and state candidates who visit Berkshire County (and let us know they're coming!) We have been focusing on the upcoming primary, which has no local Republican races. We wrote about gubernatorial candidate Geoffry Diehl and two candidates who recently came to Pittsfield.

North Adams Winter Parking Ban in Effect

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The weather's been nice so far this fall but the winds of winter are ahead. And North Adams is getting ready.

The fall decorations have been pulled from Main Street, the Christmas trees are installed, and the annual overnight parking ban has gone into effect.

As of Sunday, Nov. 1, overnight parking on city streets is prohibited between the hours of 1 and 6 a.m. This is to allow plows to clear the streets during snowstorms.

"We understand that residents may need time to make alternative parking arrangements," said Mayor Jennifer Macksey in a city alert. "Therefore, we will provide a brief grace period during the first few weeks of November. During this time, vehicles parked overnight will receive courtesy reminders rather than tickets."

But don't wait too long to find alternative parking: Ticket enforcement is anticipated to begin in mid-November.

But, if the city gets snow or conditions requiring plowing and sanding, enforcement could start earlier.

"Our goal is to give residents adequate time to adjust while ensuring our streets remain safe and accessible for everyone," said the mayor.
