Letter to the editor: Widow grateful to community

This is a thank you to everyone in the Middlebury community who helped pick up, support and wait patiently as my husband shuffled through the stores and parking lots, occasionally fell down or struggled to remain upright.

St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church — on the green in Middlebury — would like the community to know that we offer a variety of spaces to nonprofits at no charge.

Many, many Vermonters struggled for days without power beginning the night of April 3 … And the crews from Green Mountain Power Company (our provider here in Goshen) worked tirelessly and cheerfully until we all had our power back before the end of that w … (read more)

It is difficult for me to understand why anyone would vote for a man who was impeached twice, convicted of tax fraud and sexual abuse, disrespects veterans, and admires Adolf Hitler.

I disagree with April 11th’s editorial suggesting that school budgets were voted down because they were presented to voters too late.

Having recently attended a selectman’s meeting to request they look into the possibility of the town including in their budget, funds to the Addison Independent. I write to those citizens to ask they join me in supporting such an action.

I may only be writing this letter with half a brain according to Salisbury’s Bruce Acciavatti. If you read the nastiness of his letter, it shows that his political party cannot reach across the aisle for compromise.

One of the most important things we can do as a community is educate our children.

My concern is the Telephone Gap project plans, primarily in Rutland County, of the Green Mountain National Forest and the public comment period that ends on April 8.

Mr. Payne’s March 28 letter to the editor got me thinking about a recent article I read in Seven Days concerning aging in Vermont (Getting On: An Aging Population Is Transforming Vermont’s Schools, Workplaces and Communities).

Though a second term for Donald Trump should be unthinkable, it seems possible that he could win a narrow victory if enough traditionally Democratic voters refuse to vote for Joe Biden.
