Letter: Political Bias

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

Do you only report about Democrat candidates or am I missing your reporting on Republican candidates some how? The Berkshire Eagle is a left-favoring periodical that I've learned to simply ignore because of their bias. Please clarify my dilemma sooner than later.

I appreciate your efforts & overall coverage but it appears a political bias is showing itself.

Editor's note: iBerkshires covers all local candidates and state candidates who visit Berkshire County (and let us know they're coming!) We have been focusing on the upcoming primary, which has no local Republican races. We wrote about gubernatorial candidate Geoffry Diehl and two candidates who recently came to Pittsfield.

Clarksburg Awards Bid for Middle Road Work

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The Select Board on Monday awarded the contract for paving and drainage improvements on south Middle Road. 
 
Rifenburg Construction Inc. of Troy, N.Y., had the winning bid of $1,142,420. 
 
The other four bids were Clayton G. Davenport Trucking of Greenfield, $1,373,700; Palmer Paving of Brewster, N.Y., $1,193,983; Warner Bros. of Sunderland, $1,280,782.50; and J.H. Maxymillian Inc. of Pittsfield, $1,470,056.
 
The estimate for the project was $1,113,165. Bids were opened on June 15 for review. 
 
The town received a $1 million MassWorks grant last fall to address resurfacing and drainage from the Four Corners south to the town line. A couple years ago, another MassWorks grant provided funding to redo Middle Road from River Road to Wood Road. 
 
The work will cover 3,950 feet, or about three-quarters of a mile. 
 
Bidding documents anticipated a start date near the end of July.
