Letter: The Best Summer ... Until

Oh what a summer it's been. I cannot remember a nicer summer than 2024. We used our pool more this year than the past 25 years we've lived here.

Letter: Response to Crane and Art re: Notch Reservoir Project

The Crane and Art argument badly misstates the concerns of North Adams citizens who are opposed to the project.

Guest Column: North Adams Is Leading on Climate Response

A broader understanding of the nature of both our regional forests and the role of humans that interact with them is necessary to understand what actions are called for and how they will work hand-in-hand with passive approaches to long-term stewardship.

Letter: Vote No On Oct. 8

Maybe I'm out of my mind but I'm not willing to subsidize a 30-year mortgage for a declining enrollment.

image description

Letter: Halt the Notch Reservoir Logging Project

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed logging project at the Notch Reservoir in North Adams, a key source of our city's drinking water.

image description

Letter: Yes to Greylock Project

This project has been in development for years, with the opportunity for public feedback and scrutiny. It has reached this point because the MSBA understands that our schools need to meet the quality expectations of the moment.

image description

Letter: Support Next Generation With New Greylock School

Rejecting the opportunity to build a new school at the same or lower cost than renovating the aging facility, with the state covering 80 percent of the expenses, would be shortsighted and fail to provide long-term cost savings.

Letter: Vote No on Greylock School Proposal

There are several reasons why voters should vote "No" on this proposal: the declining school population, the tax burden on the citizens of North Adams and our crumbling infrastructure.

image description

Letter: Vote Yes to Greylock School Build

There are only so many Band-Aids that be put on without increasing the community's contribution to the yearly budget.

image description

Letter: North Adams Students and Teachers Deserve Our Support

The bottom line is that we cannot afford to make Brayton the school that our children can thrive in. The citizens of North Adams have a better option.

image description

Letter: Greylock School Project Worthy of Support

If the project is rejected at any stage, it moves to the back of the line, forcing the community to wait many more years, if ever, to reach the point where North Adams currently stands.

image description

Letter: Vote No on Oct. 8 Proposition 2 1/2 Exclusion

Even for those who could absorb the additional tax, approving the Proposition 2 1/2 exclusion would be a mistake. North Adams has other major expenses looming on the horizon.

image description

Letter: The Problem With Yes Vote for Greylock School

I'll say it again and again, I think all the yay-sayers are missing the point of priorities in North Adams, why we moved to another town.

Letter: I'm Voting Yes for Greylock School

I care because it's a wise investment financially and strategically for the health of our community which impacts all of us.

This goes further than simply a building. A place of foundational importance, one of first impressions on the meaning of community as it relates to youth, is on the ballot this October.

image description

Letter: Vote Yes for New Greylock

Join me on Oct. 8 by voting YES for a new Greylock School. Remember, we can't expect anyone to invest in us unless we first invest in ourselves.

The effects of the new school project will be felt for generations and build a strong foundation for the future of our community.

Letter: Vote Yes for Greylock School Project

On Oct. 8, every registered voter will have an opportunity to weigh in on the Greylock School project. It's complicated, but of utmost importance, and will have a far-reaching impact.

image description

Letter: Project 2025 Is an Urgent Threat to Democracy

Harris' pro democracy stance contrasts dramatically with Project 2025, the de facto policy platform of Donald Trump and his Republican Party.

image description

Letter: Leigh Davis Is the Leader Our Future Deserves

Many of us want our leaders to be more curious about what we think, and invite us to the table when it comes to developing solutions.
