Letter: Support Ken Kuttner for Planning Board

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

We are so blessed to have two thoughtful, dedicated community members running for the open Planning Board seat. I'm writing to share my support for Ken Kuttner because of the vision and approach he will bring to the planning board at this time.

The Planning Board has proposed zoning changes that are meant to address the need for more inclusive housing in Williamstown, a need embraced by both candidates. In Ken's "meet the candidate" video (on his website along with a lot more about Ken), he does a great job of explaining that — while he supports the planning board proposals to increase density in general residence — there are better, more creative and more impactful ways to increase housing access in RR2, that include good planning principles such as cluster development, protection of open space, and avoiding sprawl.

Please read more about Ken and what he will bring to the planning board on his website, where you can also see his candidate statement and watch the League of Women Voters forum with both candidates. Whatever happens, I hope you will attend Town Meeting on May 17, and be part of the comprehensive plan process for creating and achieving an inclusive vision for our community.

And, don't forget to VOTE Tuesday, May 10, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the Williamstown Elementary School gymnasium, 115 Church St.

Mount Greylock School Committee Candidate Q&As

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Six candidates are running in the November election for the four 4-year terms open on the seven-person Mount Greylock Regional School Committee.

All voters in the two member towns can cast ballots for up to two candidates from among three people running for the Lanesborough representative seats and up to two candidates from among the three vying for the two Williamstown seats. This year, voters will have to write in their choices as an error prevented the candidates' names from appearing on the ballot.

iBerkshires asked all six candidates about their views and positions on topics relative to the School Committee. You can find their answers on our candidates' page here.
