An endorsement for Leigh Davis for Selectboard

In their letter Angela Lomanto and John Nelson of Housatonic write: "She already has a substantial record of volunteer service to our town."

To the editor:

Leigh Davis will be an excellent addition to the Great Barrington Selectboard. She already has a substantial record of volunteer service to our town.Having chosen the Berkshires as her home, Leigh has integrated herself wholeheartedly into the community — as an actively engaged parent, an accomplished businessperson, and a supporter of both businesses and not-for-profit organizations. Her professional acumen, her wide network of colleagues, and her range of experience from arts to real estate development will be powerful benefits to our town leadership.

We are grateful for the opportunity to support Leigh’s candidacy. Please join us in voting for Davis for Great Barrington Selectboard on May 14.

Proposed high-density housing project for 546 Main Street

That Great Barrington has a housing shortage is indisputable—both affordable and market-rate housing. I think that every person on Mahaiwe Street is in agreement. I am concerned about the wholesale selling of our community to developers without input from us.

The MAGA debt bomb

We should be taking action to bring the national debt down, not giving away our treasure—and our future—to billionaires and large corporations.
