Work on making the Pines trail more usable and accessible began last year. The town's owned the property for about seven years.    The project

Letter: Raising Age for Nicotine Access Save Lives
Letter to the Editor,
12:30PM / Monday, July 07, 2025

To the Editor:

Nicotine Free Generation (NFG) is a statewide proposal to very, very slowly raise the age that licensed nicotine dealers are permitted to sell to young people. For example, a town might change the minimum age from 21 to "those born before January 1, 2026." My own town successfully adopted NFG in December.

Letter: In Response to: Dalton Finance Committee — Thank you
Letter to the Editor,
12:15PM / Monday, July 07, 2025

To the Editor:

I debated if I should submit a response to this letter or if I should just let it go. I felt a response was needed as the author of the letter published June 30, 2025, Ms. Schmidt, is an elected official of the Dalton Finance Committee. Her comment that a Request for Information is a form of harassment is outlandish and an insult to open government.

I assume I am one of the requestors who is "harassing" the Finance Committee by using the state law of public records to receive information from a committee which is not transparent. As the public reads this letter, know that the Finance Committee members use their personal email accounts for committee and town
