Dalton Candidates Debate Infrastructure, Police Station at Candidate Forum

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

Nearly 90 residents attended the forum at the Senior Center to hear from the candidates.
DALTON, Mass. — Dalton voters will choose from four candidates at the Feb. 3 special election to decide who will fill the vacant Select Board seat. 
 
The four candidates on the ballot, Robert Collins, Rich Haley, Levi Renderer and Patrick Carsell appeared at a forum Wednesday night to highlight their perspectives on issues including transparency and collaboration, the condition of the police station, and roads and sidewalks.
 
iBerkshires Pittsfield Bureau Chief Brittany Polito asked the candidates questions curated by resident submissions in front of 88 attendees at the Senior Center. The forum was also recorded by Dalton Community Television and is available on iBerkshires' YouTube channel
 
The mail-in ballot applications are currently available at the Senior Center, library, and the Town Clerk's office in Town Hall. 
 
The candidates agreed on many of the questions presented to them but split over the composition of town sidewalks.
 
Carsell said it needs to be further discussed and referred to a report by resident Todd Logan, who has advocated for amending the town's bylaws to mandate the use of concrete for all future sidewalks over the cheaper asphalt alternative.
 
The Planning Board has established a sidewalk subcommittee to discuss the proposed bylaw further.
