Letters to the Editor: 2025 Town Election

Below are links to letters received by the Citizen pertaining to the April 8 town election. Check out this week’s print edition for a preview of the ballot, a Q&A with candidates for Select Board and Planning Board, and more election-related content. *** April 3 letters: Schneiders: Voting for women is not a ‘war against men’ […]

Voting for women is not a ‘war against men’

Dear Editor: I strongly disagree with a letter to the editor in last week’s edition entitled “The war against men.” The writer says that supporters of a female who is currently running against a male for the Select Board are “gender zealots” who are supporting the woman primarily because she is a woman. The writer […]

Harrington supporters not ‘disruptive malcontents’

Dear Editor: I strongly disagree with those like Mr. Corkery, who in his letter last week, discredits Canton residents whose vision for Canton differs from his as “disruptive malcontents.” A healthy community thrives on open dialogue and diverse perspectives. A call for change is a sign of engaged citizenship, not disruption. As a proud 19-year […]

Canton needs leadership and compassion

Dear Editor: Leadership and compassion, with a strong moral compass. These are the defining characteristics I would use to describe Sue Harrington, who is running for a seat on the Canton Select Board. I have watched Sue grow her veterinary practice from a small practice grossing slightly over $200,000 with a single doctor to a […]

Change isn’t easy, but it’s time for a fresh voice

Dear Editor: It took me months to be comfortable wearing a button-down shirt untucked — and now the fashion trend is going the other way and I am not happy. I do not like change. I fear change. I’m happy with things the way they are. However, every now and then, well, change can be […]

Doing the right thing on April 8

Dear Editor: I find it very difficult to write this letter, for I have known many town officials and people involved in town government as friends and former students. The founding fathers never intended or envisioned career politicians. Their hope was that public-spirited citizens would step forward, work for the common good, and move aside […]
