There are many reasons why I can think of to support this path. Primarily as it will affect me, it will create a clear, direct, and safe route connecting Belmont with Alewife Station, as well as the Minuteman Bike Path and a broader thriving bike network. The current path in this direction ends prematurely, and extending and connecting it would greatly increase the 'livability' of the community by providing safe active transportation options for more users! In addition, the path and railroad underpass creates safe routes to school for children. Thank you for your consideration and please support this project! All the best, --Max Boston Region MPO 2 Belmont (#609204): Community Path, Belmont Component of the MCRT (Phase 1) March 27, 2021 Good morning Matt, My name is Jessica Przysiecki and I am a new resident to Belmont, recently moving here from Somerville near Davis Square.

  • Letter to the Editor
    Citizens for Farm Animal Protection (617) 522-2016 PO Box 470857 [email protected] Brookline, MA 02447 www.citizensforfarmanimals.com Letter to the Editor Guide Thank you for helping spread the word in your community about voting YES! on Question 3 by writing a letter to the editor (LTE)! Other than the front page, the editorial page is the most commonly read page of many newspapers. Therefore, it’s an effective tool for citizens to make their voices heard in a political campaign. LTEs can be used to express your point of view in general or in specific response to a printed letter, editorial, or article. Only a few of the letters to the editor received by a newspaper are actually printed, so every letter we write – and every word within it – needs to count. By staying succinct and on message, using terms everyone understands, you will increase the likelihood of printing. We’re always happy to provide contact information for local papers and to do a quick fact check and proof read on your letter before you submit it. Email [email protected] or call us at (617) 522-2016. Guiding Principles Be prepared and follow the rules. Most papers allow between 150 and 300 words. Shorter letters tend to have a higher chance of being printed and read. Each newspaper has rules regarding submission, for example, some have a form on their website, while others should be sent via email. We can share those specifics with you, just ask! Be timely. A timely response to a specific piece will increase the likelihood that your letter will be published.

  • December 4, 2017 the Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washi
    December 4, 2017 The Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20230 Re: Uncoated Groundwood Paper from Canada, Inv. Nos. C–122–862 and A-122-861 Dear Secretary Ross: On behalf of the thousands of employees working at the more than 1,100 newspapers that we publish in cities and towns across the United States, we urge you to heavily scrutinize the antidumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC) regarding uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, the paper used in newspaper production. We believe that these cases do not warrant the imposition of duties, which would have a very severe impact on our industry and many communities across the United States. NORPAC’s petitions are based on incorrect assessments of a changing market, and appear to be driven by the short-term investment strategies of the company’s hedge fund owners. The stated objectives of the petitions are flatly inconsistent with the views of the broader paper industry in the United States. The print newspaper industry has experienced an unprecedented decline for more than a decade as readers switch to digital media. Print subscriptions have declined more than 30 percent in the last ten years. Although newspapers have successfully increased digital readership, online advertising has proven to be much less lucrative than print advertising. As a result, newspapers have struggled to replace print revenue with online revenue, and print advertising continues to be the primary revenue source for local journalism. If Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper are subject to duties, prices in the whole newsprint market will be shocked and our supply chains will suffer.
