I walk around our Aquinnah property, clearing debris and limbs of trees half-eaten by ravenous deer.

I have taken minutes for different organizations for most of my adult life.

I am writing to correct the unfounded accusation that the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School’s utilization of Massachusetts General Law Chapter 40, Section 3 is somehow seeking to skirt the necessary review of our project.

Yesterday I was shocked and felt cheated when I found out that the selectmen had taken off and replaced the plastic free bylaw from the warrant at the last minute.

There has been a great deal of negative publicity about the Oak Bluffs fire department recently, so I would like to offer a different perspective.

To reach a solution we can all get behind, we hope that our educational leadership demonstrates respect for the public review process.
