Letter: Vote for Shugrue and Bowler

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

On Tuesday, Sept. 6, or before with early voting or mail-in voting, I will vote for attorney Timothy J. Shugrue for Berkshire County district attorney and Berkshire County Sheriff Thomas N. Bowler for re-election.

As creator and producer of [public access show] "Solutions Rising," I hope you will go to webcast.nbctc.org to learn more about their extensive background and significant experience. Attorney Shugrue just taped two "Solutions Rising" programs with me, and Sheriff Bowler recently taped his fourth program. Integrity means everything in our elected officials, and both have demonstrated that quality and admirable community involvement and commitment in their lives.

Your vote matters, and Tuesday, Sept. 6, is the definitive election for both Berkshire County district attorney and Berkshire County sheriff. I believe attorney Shugrue and Sheriff Bowler have earned your vote, and Berkshire County will be well served when they are elected.

Clarksburg Holds Information Session CPA Warrant Article

CLARKSBURG, Mass. — An informational meeting on the Community Preservation Act will be held on Wednesday, May 1, at 6 p.m. at the Clarksburg Elementary School.
 
Voters at the annual town meeting on May 29 will be asked to approve adoption of the state law which will allow the town to collect a 3 percent surcharge on property taxes for use for affordable housing, open space and recreation, and historic preservation. A percentage of the funds collected by the town are matched by the state.
 
The Historical Commission requested the question be placed on the town meeting warrant. Passage at town meeting would put the CPA on the Nov. 5 general election ballot. 
 
The slide presentation by commissioners will cover what the act is and what adopting it would mean to residents and the community. This will be followed by Q&A.
