One night in February 2020, a homeless man named Thierry Heuga went to sleep under a bridge in Bennington. It was four degrees outside. Thierry Heuga died that night. The next day would have been his 58th birthday. I mourned Thierry’s shortened life, the disappearance of his...

To the Editor,
Nearly half of the governors—23 and counting—have decided to end federal supplemental unemployment benefits for workers in their states. Evidently, they never heard the old adage: Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face. In these bizarre times, I guess we have to be...

I am writing this letter to let you know that the town of Dover should be ashamed of themselves as to the way the cemeteries look. They are not mowed, stones are broken and very dirty. Take some of the 1% money and put it towards the conditions of the cemeteries. They are in...

To the Editor,
Gov. Phil Scott has vetoed two bills, that would have permitted non-citizens who are legally present in the United States to vote in local elections. He was correct to veto the bills, but I disagree with his reasons for doing so.
