News and Ideas Worth Sharing

Join me in attending State Rep. Leigh Davis’ town hall on Feb. 3 and her town meeting on Feb. 28

Leigh Davis is already stepping up to the plate as promised for disability rights, housing advocacy, and putting people like myself first and foremost.

To the editor:

On November 5, 2024, I attended Leigh Davis’s fantastic party at the Barrington Brewery. She absolutely BROKE HISTORY and swept Berkshire County with her victorious win. I was absolutely honored and delighted to be a guest on Team Leigh.

This February 3, I will attend her town hall in Great Barrington to listen in on her aide’s critical updates and discussions around the Berkshires and Massachusetts. Leigh Davis is ALREADY stepping up to the plate as promised for disability rights, housing advocacy, and putting people like myself first and foremost. She has already been working actively around the clock with Gov. Maura Healey.

On February 28, I will attend her town meeting at Paige’s Place in Otis.

Davis is highly interactive with her constituents and truly cares about safeguarding the Berkshires.

As a computer engineer and medical student, I am blessed and delighted to see her in action and witness her firsthand work on issues that matter the most. She puts patients in need first and answers phone calls immediately, and her office is known as “the bullpen” within the State House of Massachusetts. I am thrilled and excited to accept her invitation to her town hall meeting on February 3 to meet and greet her aide and then on the 28th to listen to updates from Leigh Davis herself, and you should come there as well to witness the history of Leigh Davis acting on what matters most to us within Berkshire County.

Cross-quarter days

We have lost so much in the transformation of these ancient days of honoring, giving thanks, and celebration, now trivialized and commercialized, as is so much of our impoverished culture.

Gratitude and a request for elders

I encourage readers of The Berkshire Edge to help Elder Services of the Berkshires with a donation! It will help to build local resilience into this service in the face of uncertainties emanating from D.C.

Egremont is asking its residents to vote on an incomplete and error-filled revision of the town’s zoning bylaw

The folks pressing ahead with this unfinished product assure us that they will finish the job and fix the mistakes in due course. They call doing that “phase two.” But they can offer no guaranty that “phase two” will happen or that it will look as we are being told it will look.
