Kornheiser: Commitment to environmental sustainability, energy efficiency

By
Jonathan Morse
Wednesday, August 1, 2018 — Issue 470

MARLBORO — I am writing in support of Emilie Kornheiser's bid to be elected as the state representative from District 1 in Brattleboro. Her people skills, knowledge of and commitment to the Brattleboro community, and personal integrity make her an ideal candidate to represent our district.

A particular issue that is important to her is dear to my heart. She is a strong advocate for environmental sustainability and has shown a deep commitment to energy efficiency.

I urge all voters in District 1 to consider voting for her.

Wednesday, August 16, 2023 — Issue 727

This is the definition of a NIMBY ("not in my backyard") debate. It's harmful, and I really wish it would come to an end. But since it's not going to, let's not pretend that it's something other than what it is. This Voices Letters from readers was submitted to The Commons.
