The petition “to force the vote” regarding the Regional Public Safety Authority that’s circulating through Berlin is not necessary. We already voted last March and don’t need to do it again. We voted for those who are now members of the Berlin Select Board to lead this town into the future with Berlin’s best interest in mind, and that’s exactly what they are doing.

The Berlin Select Board is focused without conflict on what’s best for the town. We fully support their decision not to jump on board the public safety band wagon just because our neighbors did, and thank them for keeping Berlin free to “shape our own future” without Barre and Montpelier telling us what to do.
