I offer my enthusiastic support for Emilie Kornheiser's bid for state representative. I've lived and worked in the Brattleboro area for my entire adult life.

When I shuffled into Emilie's campaign kickoff gathering, my cynicism came along. But then she began to tell us about her inclusive worldview; she revealed a nuanced...
“Ben 'Spoon' Agave: Providing expertise to 'make a good town better'” [News, Feb. 27] was great and gave me a good glimpse into Mr. Agave, whom, after reading this article, I determined I could not support. I supported Kate O'Connor for the simple reason that she has a better temperament to be on the Selectboard than Mr. Agave. Plus, I really did not like how he said that he was “running against the O'Connors and everything that name represents....” No,
