Letter: Jennifer Macksey for Mayor

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

Jennifer Macksey is quite simply the best mayoral candidate for North Adams. As any of Jen's coworkers, current or former, will tell you, Jen is a strong independent woman who has been successful in every position she has held. I have personally seen her incredibly strong work ethic and she puts her whole heart into everything she does — just imagine what she will do for the city she loves.

What an incredible benefit to have our new mayor walk into City Hall with the knowledge of how city government works. She will brainstorm with all the city departments to figure out what needs to be prioritized and get to work on it. There will be no long learning curve.

I find it disturbing that the only reason I hear to not vote for Jen is that she will be our former mayor's "mouthpiece." For those of you who have made that statement, you obviously don't know Jen.


She is as passionate about this city as anyone I have ever met. Safety, jobs, education and housing are all on the top of her to-do list and she wants to work with the citizens of the city to improve them all.

If you are on the fence about who to vote for, I urge you to talk to Jen, she welcomes any and all conversations. I also urge you to watch the 10/21/21 debate.

I support Jen Macksey and urge you to do the same, she will make this city proud.

Rebecca Cellana
North Adams, Mass.

After the Slush: Warmer Weather Arrives

Staff Reports
Yuck. After Tuesday's surprise snowstorm (1 to 2 inches??), which sent kids home early and canceled activities, there's another mess headed our way. 
 
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for all of Western Massachusetts, Southern Vermont, northern Connecticut and most of Upstate New York and the Capital Region.
 
The warning runs from 5 p.m. on Thursday to noon Friday, with a forecast of snow and sleet and icy rain. 
 
The region can expect total accumulations of one to 2 inches, with greater expectations of ice totals in the higher elevations. 
 
This will start as rain on Thursday afternoon, before changing over to sleet and freezing rain, and then snow across the northern region. This is expected to taper off on Friday morning. 
 
The evening and morning commutes will be messy with black ice and slippery roads.
 
Greylock Snow Day's confidence meter is at 45 percent for school delays on Friday morning.
