Letters to the editor
This letter was submitted by Dr. Carole Allen of Arlington: As voting rights are increasingly under attack, it is doubly important to cast votes in our primary and general elections. The Sept. 6 Democratic primary offers many qualified and committed candidates. To me, a few stand out for dedication to equity and population health and the experience – lived and professional – they bring to the table; I hope you will consider joining me in supporting them. For lieutenant governor, State Rep. Tami ...

Poetry
UPDATED Aug. 12: Steven Ratiner, Arlington’s poet laureate, sought submissions in February 2020 from Arlington residents to contribute to "a rather unconventional, utterly delightful way to inject poetry into the everyday." It was to remain secret until its debut during April’s National Poetry Month. Then the coronavirus hit. In June 2021, he offers Red Letters 3.0. PUBLISHED:  I was asked to write an essay for Askold Melnyczuk’s Arrowsmith Journal about what I learned from the first y...

For transparency, resident backs Palfrey for AG

Letters to the editor
This letter was written by Guillermo S. Hamlin, a Precinct 14 Town Meeting member who works at Tufts Technology Services and previously ran for the town Board of Assessors in '21. Did you know that Massachusetts ranks 46th in the country on government transparency? Read that back again and sit with that realization. Is that really what we’re willing to pay for? Seriously, the State House regularly fails to report back to its taxpayers, and that’s most of the time. This is unacceptable, we need t...

Beacon Hill delays tax relief; what do you think?

Politics
After a 23-hour session, the state Legislature has decided to close the 2021-2022 session by declining to act on billions in tax relief. Our leaders voted in favor of sports betting, mental health and gun control. But Democrats said they were being "fiscally responsible" by pausing talks over tax-relief and economic-development spending. They want to see how much money in state revenue must be returned to taxpayers in the light of a 1986 ballot law that capped state revenue growth. Outgoing Repu...
