Wednesday, February 28, 2024 — Issue 754

As a resident and active member of the community, I'm proud to stand behind Peter Case's candidacy for a three-year term on the Brattleboro Selectboard.

Peter has shown he is dedicated to our community, thoughtful, and well-informed. We have witnessed his service and ability to address challenges head on.

I have every confidence in Peter Case's ability to help the town meet the complicated and demanding issues it faces. He is committed to making Brattleboro an even better place to live.

How did we get here?
