Leigh Davis has demonstrated her commitment to serving the community

In a letter to the editor, Lauren Clark writes, "Leigh immersed herself in our community from the start and has continually served as a volunteer and as an elected official, having spent a term on the Great Barrington Finance Committee."

To the editor:

I had the pleasure of getting to know Leigh Davis when she was new to our town and where she hit the ground running (no pun intended)! Leigh immersed herself in our community from the start and has continually served as a volunteer and as an elected official, having spent a term on the Great Barrington Finance Committee. As a community, we are so fortunate to have many fine people willing to put in their time and energy for the good of all of us. Leigh is one of those people. Whether in Great Barrington or Housatonic, I urge you to vote for Leigh Davis for selectboard this Election Day, Tuesday, May 14.

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.
