Support those who stepped up

We would do well to put trust in those who had our backs, even when it was not politically expedient.

To the editor:

The General Electric-proposed PCB cleanup is a dire issue that has been at the forefront of local concerns for years. When the proposal was first floated, some of our elected officials stepped up immediately. Among them were Lee Select Board member Bob Jones and Stockbridge Select Board member Patrick White. They recognized the many new problems this proposed “solution” would create for those who live here and stood up for us without hesitation.

While everyone is grateful for other officials’ new-found support, we note that, coincidentally, it comes close to election day.

This problem is serious and will impact all who live along the river corridor. We would do well to put trust in those who had our backs, even when it was not politically expedient.
