Three cheers for Jim Haff

Dear Editor,

Hip hip hooray for Jim Haff’s excellent run for Selectboard. Jim, you stuck to the issues, and with honesty and integrity you made your case for a better Town of Killington.

Hip hip hooray for Jim Haff’s attention to details. Jim, again, you brought attention to the “mistakes” in this year’s Town Book including the lack of disclosure of significant Town debts and shortfalls in funding appropriate capital reserves to protect our Town’s current infrastructure.

Hip hip hooray for Jim Haff’s self-control. You stayed above the fray without responding to the various unwarranted attacks and insults. Jim, your 200+ votes show a lot of support for you and your various position that ultimately support the Town of Killington.

Jim, you are a trusted resource for a lot people on a lot of matters dealing with the Town of Killington. Please keep up the great work and remember, this not a sprint but a marathon.

Steve Selbo, Bridgewater

And as a 74-year-old Connecticut resident and life-long (so far!) registered Democrat, that’s pretty much all I can do because out-of-state homeowners in Vermont cannot vote in local elections, one of a few issues on which Radonis and I…

Dear Editor, In his Aug. 28, 2024, Mountain Times letter “Response to Republican choice,” Mr. George de Luna states rather oddly that “Most of his [Trump’s] ‘lies’ are exaggerations but are in the same direction of the truth.”  Actual journalists disagree.  In their Jan. 24, 2021, Washington Post article “Trump’s false or misleading claims total…

Dear Editor, Thank you to so many who celebrated the life of Erica Hurd last month on the Pittsfield Green.  Like her, it was beautiful in so many ways. She brought us together again to share our love, stories, food, music, tears and laughter. And lots of purple. The support of so many — family,…
