Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,
It was at the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, 100 years ago in 1918 that World War I, “the war to end all wars,” ended. It is with honor that we as a nation stand together every year on November 11, to recognize the women and men who fought for freedom and for...
To the Editor,
Firstly, each and every American has a right to live. My family’s right to live, your family’s right to live, every family’s natural right to a life not cut short by violence outweighs any one individual’s right to a firearm.
Secondly, it was estimated that in 2017,...
To the Editor,
I read the letter to the editor in The Deerfield Valley News October 18 edition written by Sara Clay of Wilmington. She seemed so distressed about climate change and the current administration. Of concern was Washington’s pull out from the Paris Climate Accord. I felt a real...

To the Editor,

As a member of the Groundworks Collaborative board of directors and co-chair of this year’s Empty Bowls event steering committee, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the local potters, businesses, sponsors, and volunteers that made this year’s empty bowls...
To the Editor,
It’s discouraging that in the year 2018 I find myself telling constituents that, as president of the Vermont Senate, I will do whatever it takes to protect Vermont women’s right to choose. But in light of the new United States Supreme Court majority that’s what I’ve said to...
To the Editor,
As a small business owner in Vermont, I’ve witnessed first-hand many of our state’s challenges. Finding qualified workers, navigating a complex permitting system, and remaining competitive with a neighboring state that doesn’t even have a sales tax are a fact of life for me...
