Letter: Vote for Right Team for North Adams

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

Hi there! How many North Adams folks know that Election Day is on Tuesday, Nov. 7? How many residents realize that the current mayor is up for re-election? Luckily for us, the signs on the lawn of City Hall remind us of our civic duty.

Me, I voted early right there in City Hall, for nine members for City Council (phew!) plus the city mayor. I'm eager to earn bragging rights for electing the right team. Because, coming soon, North Adams will be reviewing the 10-year update to our Vision 2030 Comprehensive Plan.

We have made progress, despite the COVID-19 setback, and now we are looking ahead to a prosperous future. Vote, and get the right team on board in City Hall. Thank you.

Alice Bojanowski
North Adams, Mass.

North Adams Residents Urged to Return Census

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — City residents are being warned of the consequences of not completing the census — their voting status will be deemed inactive. 
 
"We currently have just about 5,000 returns, and we really need to get people to return their census," said City Clerk Tina Leonesio at Tuesday's City Council meeting. "We have over 10,000 voters in the system."
 
She reminded audience members that the state mandates that they return their census forms. 
 
Massachusetts is the only state that conducts an annual street listing to determine who and how many people are living in each community. It requires boards of registrars in municipalities of 5,000 or more people to create lists of all persons age 17 and older by street or alphabetically.
 
These lists are used for updating voter rolls, calling up juries, confirming numbers for services such as veterans benefits and schools, and proof of residency for colleges and universities.  
 
This year, anyone who hasn't returned their form by June 1, will be placed on the inactive voter list. 
 
"Which means, come voting time, they're going to have to come up to the table, they're going to have to fill out forms, show that they're still living in the where they were living, and then go vote," said Leonesio. "It's going to be so much easier if people just turn in their census."
