I know what Leigh Davis has accomplished from watching her in action for many years. That is why I, and so many others, are enthusiastically supporting her candidacy to represent the 3rd Berkshire District.
I want my town leaders working with leaders in the town of Lee on a better solution for transporting PCB-laden sludge out of the Housatonic, and I am very grateful to Leigh Davis for stepping up and taking an active role in this process.
I am not worried about him. If we reelect him, he will do the job. If we don’t reelect him, it will be, well and truly, our loss. No, I am not worried about Joe Biden; I am worried about us.
I have never heard of a candidate having already won a primary and stepping down to be replaced—I have not researched it, and I have misgivings about its legality.
Ms. Davis, without any audible dissent from her colleagues, wants to tell us that “transparency and accountability are essential for maintaining the public’s trust in our local government.”
It is my hope that this country will always welcome those fleeing poverty, oppression, violence, and hopelessness, and provide to them the same chance to work hard and succeed in America that was extended to our parents, our grandparents, and our great-grandparents.
No one should celebrate driving away from a tire store with one new tire when the full set needs to be replaced. Sure, it helps, but you will not get to where you need to be in the long run.
Berkshire County residents are invited to participate in the national Broadband Equity Access & Development Challenge to determine the speed of your internet, which is also a test of whether you are getting the speeds you are paying for, as well as identifying underserved areas and areas with no service at all.
Of course I still have friends, and I will spend the evening celebrating with some special ones, but the gift of being 52, I am discovering, is to realize the pleasure to be had in doing nothing apart from standing still and looking at things.
The Civil War had created pent-up demand for goods, and there was Baldwin’s. Folks all over the North and South were glad to see the war ending and new businesses starting up.
My personal experience with Patrick has been principally through the leadership role he took in protecting the forests of the historically and ecologically important town property of Ice Glen.
All dogs have their day, and the seemingly invincible mafiosi to whom Mr. Trump enjoys comparing himself were both eventually tried and convicted: Al Capone for tax evasion, and John Gotti for, among other things, racketeering, obstruction of justice, tax evasion, and extortion.
As a queer person, I think the space The Foundry offers for queer and trans artists is extremely important (and unusual in the Berkshires), and I don't want to see it get shut down. But that doesn't give The Foundry a right to disturb the family’s home or disrupt their business.
Two things are becoming increasingly clear. One, based on the facts and law, it is downright dopey for Great Barrington not to settle in its Community Impact Fees cases. Two, the town has persistently received bad counsel.
