Letter: Political Bias

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

Do you only report about Democrat candidates or am I missing your reporting on Republican candidates some how? The Berkshire Eagle is a left-favoring periodical that I've learned to simply ignore because of their bias. Please clarify my dilemma sooner than later.

I appreciate your efforts & overall coverage but it appears a political bias is showing itself.

Editor's note: iBerkshires covers all local candidates and state candidates who visit Berkshire County (and let us know they're coming!) We have been focusing on the upcoming primary, which has no local Republican races. We wrote about gubernatorial candidate Geoffry Diehl and two candidates who recently came to Pittsfield.

North Adams City Hall Getting Insulation

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — City Hall will be in a bit of disarray as a project to insulate the 1970s building with spray foam is completed. 
 
Mayor Jennifer Macksey said at Tuesday's City Council meeting that the work will take approximately two weeks. 
 
"We received a grant through the Green Communities to do half of the building last year, and we're doing the other half between April 14 and Sept. 25," she said. "During this time, the second-floor offices will be either temporarily closed or relocated. Most of the staff will be operating remotely."
 
She expected minimal disruption on the first floor but the second floor will be inaccessible and no meetings will be held there.
 
"City Hall will remain open and operational, but visitors may notice some unusual odors on the first floor due to insulation materials," the mayor said. 
 
She also asked citizens to report potholes to the City Yard at 413-662-3157. 
 
"Currently, our road crews have been hauling material from West Sand Lake (N.Y.), which is about a three-hour round trip, which limits the amount of blacktop we can pick up each day," the mayor said. "The good news is that the Pittsfield supply center is expected to open around April 15. Once it does does, we'll be able to accelerate our repairs significantly. So we appreciate your patience."
