ROCKINGHAM —

ROCKINGHAM-A story on a proposed municipal merger between Rockingham and Bellows Falls [The Commons, June 10] incorrectly stated that no Rockingham residents had served as Town Manager.

Jim Mullen, who served as Town Manager before current Interim Manager Francis “Dutch” Walsh, is a Rockingham resident.

Also, the Merger Committee headed by Thom MacPhee first met in June 2009, with its final report released in November 2009.

The Senate Republicans have certainly taught former President Trump a lesson, but will our democracy survive it? The nation knows he is guilty. And now his guilt is their guilt. They are like the white juries in the South who acquitted lynchers, murderers, and Klansmen for a century and more. White supremacists defending their own.
