Sharon Gregory will provide intelligent, thoughtful, and balanced representation on the Great Barrington Selectboard

In this election cycle, we believe Sharon is the best choice. Her years of involvement in town government, including her time on the finance committee, her citizen advocacy, and her encyclopedic knowledge of the issues facing the town, make her the ideal candidate for these times.

To the editor:

One of the great things about living in Great Barrington is that so many knowledgeable, thoughtful, and passionate people are involved in the town government.

We will be casting our vote this coming Tuesday for Sharon Gregory to join our esteemed Selectboard as she possesses those positive characteristics and many more, making her an ideal candidate.

In this election cycle, we believe Sharon is the best choice. Her years of involvement in town government, including her time on the finance committee, her citizen advocacy, and her encyclopedic knowledge of the issues facing the town, make her the ideal candidate for these times. In talking to Sharon, it becomes apparent that she has a well thought-out, deep understanding of all the issues our town currently faces.

The Selectboard must deal with multiple complex and challenging concerns that are so important to our future as a town that can meet the needs of all its citizenry: what to do about the Housatonic water system, the school district, the environment, taxation/finance etc. We are confident that Sharon will provide intelligent, thoughtful, and balanced representation on all of these issues.
