Textbooks cost too much The costs of textbooks are out­rageously high. No matter if classes are in-person or online, students like myself are struggling to afford the resource materials we need to get our degrees. It’s nonsense to me that an institution like college, which many of us need in order to pursue our professional… [Read More]

Chair has abandoned Selectboard I’m looking on the town’s website for the agenda for the next Select­board meeting, and I don’t find one. At all. We have no legitimate Town Administrator, and no plan to fix that. At all. Most of you should know who is responsible for setting Selectboard agendas: Chairman [Daniel] Freitas. By… [Read More]

Oh, no, it was all a mixup. Well, no, that’s a good thing. It was just such a good laugh… Anyway, last week I told you about a rumor that we are shutting down..we are NOT. Turns out it’s one of the other weeklies, one of the real estate books that is no longer publishing… [Read More]

Enough is enough Enough is Enough with this Selectboard Chairman.

Navigating education policy, law, budgets, and other issues is difficult during regular times. COVID-19 has made the job 1000x’s harder. As a school… [Read More]

Ahhh spring, town election AHHHH, there’s nothing like Spring in Fairhaven. Chirping birds making their nests and crocuses forcing themselves through the lingering snow and the time change that allows us to have daylight beyond 5:30 p.m. For me, my absolute favorite Spring tradition is TOWN ELECTION. This year it is the Monday after Easter,… [Read More]

School Committee incumbents show respect With all of the political turmoil in town, it is hard to find a board representing the people as they should. Elected officials that instill a sense of pride in our town are few and far between. There is a board, though, that does set the bar high and provides… [Read More]

Espindola should be re-elected Bob Espindola — I have had the immense honor of getting to know Bob since he got sworn in as a Selectman on the Selectboard. Bob is a prime example of what it means to be a servant leader. He listens authentically to everyone’s concerns, he’s empathetic, especially to those who… [Read More]
