The Martha’s Vineyard Commission has an important role to play when it comes to planning and protection of the Vineyard environment, a majority of people polled by the Vineyard Gazette Harris Interactive survey said.
The commission was singled out for special questioning in the survey which polled more than 500 seasonal and permanent residents on issues ranging from quality of life to cell phone service.
Results of Gazette Tick-Borne Illness Survey
In August, the Vineyard Gazette in cooperation with the Martha's Vineyard boards of health undertook an online survey of year-round and seasonal Island residents and visitors on the topic of ticks and tick-borne illness. The goal was to gauge the seriousness of the problem and to test community attitudes about potential efforts to address it. The survey was closed after receiving 1,311 responses in three weeks.
