Letter: Mass MoCA Paint-Over Is Unresolved Issue
Although Mass MoCA painted over the school children's historic depictions of Northern Berkshire mill workers and the textile dolls on the pillars on Marshall Street in North Adams, to our knowledge the issue still remains unresolved.
iForum: Girl Scouts Already Doing Great Things in the Community
Never heard of a Bronze Award? You're not alone - and based on many social media posts and comments following the announcement of the Boy Scouts of America's decision to allow girls into Boy Scouting, it's clear there are a lot of misconceptions about what Girl Scouting offers girls.
Letter: Barrett Will Help Cheshire as State Representative
We need leadership that will make sure that funding is made available to re-open our local school, not only for children but to help Cheshire grow.
Letter: Blackmer Will Be Dedicated, Passionate Public Servant
She has worked hard and effectively on the City Council and in Boston advocating for our region. She has balanced work and family, always in the service of others. I have no doubt that as a state representative she will work just as hard, listen just as carefully, and love just as fully as she has as a mother, grandmother, wife, and public servant.

Letter: Blackmer Outworks Other Candidates
Being a state legislator, contrary to popular opinion, is a very demanding position. It takes great stamina and an ability to juggle 100 things at once, all the while maintaining a sincere ear to listen to your constituents, colleagues, experts, and especially those who need your help.
Letter: Blackmer Is the Public Servant We Need
Over the past decade, there is nobody who has delved further into the policies and practices of local governments than Lisa Blackmer. As a city councilor, town administrator and town treasurer, her dedication did not go unnoticed by others around the state, including the Massachusetts Municipal Association, where she eventually presided over the board.
Letter: Vote for Passion & Experience, Vote Kevin Towle

Letter: Bosley Is a Community Builder
Being that Stephanie is my wife, most would assume that this is a foregone conclusion. However, the reasons that she is my wife should matter to each and every voter when they choose to vote on Oct. 10. I knew I would marry Stephanie from our first date and I assure you that is not a line, ask anyone who knows me and you'll find this has been the story since the moment Stephanie left after the date was over.
Letter: Blackmer Stands Above the Rest
One of Lisa's most impressive qualities is her ability to listen to others and research every issue the community deals with. She takes in all of the sides presented – sometimes more than just two – and she has been known to change her mind because of the insight others gave to an issue. She does not seek the limelight, but seeks to make the right decisions.
Letter: Blackmer Has Always Advocated for Community
Her energy, knowledge, and enthusiasm for our communities are unmatched. Not only has she served the city well for the past 10 years, both here and in Boston, but she has been a staunch supporter of every cause she comes across.
