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 […]
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 […]

Dear Editor: I am writing in support of Select Board candidate Susan Harrington to help bring the changes that are needed to our town government and our Police Department.

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 […]

Dear Editor: I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the proposal to move our town elections from April to November to coincide with state and federal elections. While increasing voter turnout for town elections is a worthwhile goal, this change presents significant operational challenges that must be carefully considered before any decision is […]
