Letter: Mayor chooses to make school department his enemy
I’ve sat through numerous City Council and Finance Committee meetings over the years, especially during budget season. I’ve witnessed a pattern of berating and scolding of our superintendent/School Committee by our now mayor, Mike Foley. In the past, he was on the council (16 years) and this tactic is not new, but very disconcerting to […]

Letter: Proposed program would help young adults save for retirement
Saving for retirement is one of the most important things you can do for your future. As a college student about to enter the workforce, it is hard for me to even think of what all retirement involves. There is one thing I know for certain, retirement is expensive.

Letter: Is Edgar off the beam on NECEC?
Why do we support the New England Clean Energy Connect project? Because today’s climate crisis is the greatest threat to the health of the planet.

Letter: Beem back on Trump, not thinking of wounded soldiers

Letter: Trump supporters sick and tired of Democrats’ insults
Today I read the oped (“R.I.P, GOP,” Dec. 19) by Mr. Beem and was offended greatly by his insults. To lump all who disagree with him as nut cakes, racists and xenophobes is just not right.
