May I be so bold as to represent every mother across America when I say that Lindsay Clancy (from what I have learned in the media) should be shown grace and mercy concerning her actions that ended the lives of her 3 beautiful children. If we are still a Christian nation (and I believe we […]

I am sick and tired of hearing about the board not getting along with each other so this is what we should do. I believe that the people of Plymouth should just vote them all out in the next election. They haven’t done a good job anyway so let’s just get rid of them and […]

I read with interest Mark Pothier’s recent article in the Plymouth Independent about the possibility of one or more small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs, in industry jargon) at the former Pilgrim site. My views on this are informed by a career in the electric industry that spanned more than forty years, the last twenty of […]

I DO NOT understand why no one has addressed the highway entrances and exits to Plymouth that do not provide welcome to Plymouth signage and landscape. They are very unwelcoming. What landscape there is, is underwhelming, littered, unattractive and unkempt.    Is there any fund for that? – Susan Thomas

As a relatively new resident to Plymouth, I have slowly come to the conclusion that the Town’s governing apparatus (and perhaps personnel) are at best inept and perhaps borderline malfeasant. Over the last several years, a clown parade of issues have marched through town, e.g. the lack of preventive maintenance at Founder’s Hall, the Water […]

I’m old enough to remember when activists occupied the site of the proposed nuclear power plant at Seabrook, New Hampshire, back in 1977.  The arguments those men and women made against nuclear generating stations are still valid today and should be taken seriously by Governor Healey and members of her administration. The vexing riddle of […]

I read the recent commentary, “Another nuclear reactor in Plymouth? Be careful what you wish for,” with great interest. While I share the skepticism regarding the timeline, feasibility, and advisability of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) for Plymouth, the piece overlooked a concrete, near-term alternative currently before state regulators and the town. Plymouth needs real, near-term […]

Thank you so much to Julie Davis for her expansive and thoughtful article on The Gregory Peace Prize and our upcoming Plymouth, City of Peace celebration. I would be remiss if I didn’t add that besides the committee members and their group affiliations mentioned in the article, we have had the expertise and support from […]

Plymouth County jury has issued a decision that is directly relevant to Plymouth and the sand and gravel mining operations occurring in the town, including the Industrial Park along Route 3 and the proposed development on 71 Hedges Pond Road. On Aug. 11, a Plymouth Superior Court jury awarded two Carver residents $530,000 in damages, […]

It’s clear that Gov. Healey is committed to bringing nuclear power back to Massachusetts. But is she looking out for the interests of Massachusetts voters or simply responding to pressures and influences from the Trump administration while also kowtowing to Big-Tech special interests? The executive branch has succumbed to the influence of tech giants racing […]
