To the editor:
After reading the article today about Michael Lavery running against state Rep. Pignatelli, I was reminded of a public comment from him in August 2021, when Tetrahydra renewed its application for a marijuana facility on Quarry Road in Becket.
Michael Lavery responded to Howard Buxbaum on Next Door, a public social networking service to neighborhoods.
People who have read Lavery’s comment feel it shows a lack of respect for residents’ rights to voice their opinion. This is an unfortunate comment written by a Select Board member.
As a Becket resident, I feel this comment belittles my and others’ concerns about the impact of a Tier 11 light industrial facility in our neighborhood.
