To the editor:
I hope the Board of Directors of CTSB-tv and selectboards everywhere in the county hear John Hart’s message in his recent letter loud and clear.
Seniors, full-time workers, parents of young children, and anyone with medical issues making them vulnerable to COVID have been able to participate in our local governments because of the professional, high-quality recordings provided to us all by CTSB-tv. We all owe the station and its directors a great debt for keeping our democracy alive during the pandemic. This is not the time to slide backwards. The pandemic is not going away in the near future and our democracy is under assault by those who wish to accomplish their agendas without the rest of us knowing what’s going on.
If local governments are to try to take over coverage, even partially, they must assure their citizens that CTSB-tv’s reliable, professional coverage will be matched. I hope some of the new directors of CTSB-tv don’t assume such reliable quality can be provided by all the towns.
