Letter: Please Elect Tony Pagliarulo

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

As we approach our town elections on Monday, I write to encourage residents to vote for Antonio "Tony" Pagliarulo for Select Board. My conclusion from attending both evening sessions of town meeting is that Dalton voters are looking for change — and that Tony will provide the change that they seek.

Tony is aware of the financial stress that many Dalton homeowners currently experience and has proposed new town policies that will provide tax relief. As a volunteer and elected member of town committees over decades as a Dalton resident, Tony knows the town problems that have persisted for years — and will tackle those issues through innovative approaches.

Tony hopes to ease current voter frustration with the status quo by proposing a town charter project (i.e., a "constitution" for Dalton) and a Select Board policy manual that will provide a code of ethics for our town leaders. If elected, he'll immediately set to work helping to resolve the sand mining pollution crisis that plagues Dalton neighborhoods and constitutes a health and safety threat for our entire town.

Because Tony knows Dalton and its residents — and has the best interests of the town as his goal — he will make a terrific Select Board member. Please vote for change on Monday, March 12. Vote for Tony Pagliarulo.

BVNA Nurses Raise Funds for Berkshire Bounty

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Massachusetts Nursing Association members of the Berkshire Visiting Nurses Association raised $650 to help with food insecurity in Berkshire County.
 
The nurses and health-care professionals of BVNA have given back to the community every holiday season for the last three years. The first year, they adopted a large family, raised money, bought, wrapped and delivered the gifts for the family. Last year, they sold raffle tickets and the money raised went to the charitable cause of the winner. 
 
This year, with food insecurity as a rising issue, they chose to give to Berkshire Bounty in Great Barrington.
 
They sold raffle tickets for a drawing to win one of two items: A lottery ticket tree or a gift certificate tree, each worth $100. They will be giving the organization the donation this month.
 
Berkshire Bounty seeks to improve food security in the county through food donations from retailers and local farms; supplemental purchases of healthy foods; distribution to food sites and home deliveries; and collaborating with partners to address emergencies and improve the food system.
