Transparency?????

Dear Editor,

I’m waiting on some answers from past letters to the editor, which my understanding Killington Selectboard Chair Patty McGrath has stated:

“I also plan to continue to write letters monthly to The Mountain Times to address citizens concerns publicly so that all residents and property owners can stay apprised of the facts.”

I have many other questions, but I understand Patty McGrath’s statements says monthly not weekly, so I’ll wait for this months reply. So that what I’ve already asked can be answered. My hope is to keep the questions/answers clear and simple.

Jim Haff, Killington

The arc of agingand leadership

July 24, 2024
By Bill Schubart Like a good novel, our lives have a narrative arc, during which we are actively participating in and relevant to our world. We are born, rise slowly into sensual consciousness and gradually process what we see and feel. Our juvenile perceptions gradually become knowledge, and, if all goes well, that knowledge binds…
