Opinion
Opinion: Admitting to what’s wrong in the country
To the Editor: The letter from Mr. Brock Cordeiro in the April 10 issue has prompted me to respond with a letter of my own. It was very heartening to read about the change in viewpoint he experienced after attending the rally in Dartmouth on April 5...
Opinion: Regarding voter turnout
To the editor: In the latest election for Board of Health only nine percent of eligible voters went to the polls. That is shocking. Admittedly it was an off year with only one contest but even in a more contentious election Dartmouth rarely exceeds...

Opinion: Preserve, protect and defend the health and well-being of the country
To the editor: Our Constitutional rights were on public exhibition this past weekend as hundreds of patriots gathered at the Dartmouth Mall to protest the injustices committed by President Donald Trump and Congress. That I attended the rally amazes...
Opinion: Dartmouth has a history of under prioritizing the school budget
To the editor: For at least the last half-decade, Dartmouth has underprioritized the schools. From FY19-FY25 the DPS has received a budget increase of 23.3%. There are 35 line items in the budget which the Town has direct control over. During this...
Opinion: Time is of the essence for Dartmouth dog park
To the editor: For over a decade, dedicated community volunteers have been working tirelessly to bring an off-leash recreational area (OLRA), a dog park, to Dartmouth. Despite numerous setbacks, including funding losses, grant denials, and delays...
Opinion: Securing, not seizing
To the editor, To deny that there is a major issue with uncontrolled immigration is counterproductive and prolongs an effective bipartisan solution. But to roundup and seize immigrants, without regard to status or situation, is inhumane and...
Opinion: Regarding food insecurity on college campuses
To the editor, My name is Paul Morais, a student at the University of Massachusetts- Dartmouth. I’m writing this in order to bring awareness to a problem plaguing the USA. The problem being food insecurity, and you know that 44% of students are food...
Opinion: Food insecurity in college students
To the editor, My name is Maelen Alexander and I am a nursing student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. I am writing to you because 44% of college students are experiencing food insecurity. Although I’ve never known one of these students...
Opinion: Regarding the school budget
To the editor: For at least the last half-decade, Dartmouth has underprioritized the schools. The following list is the percent increase all town budget line items have received from FY19 to FY25*: 78.1% Town Administrator/Selectboard 76.9% Weights...
Opinion: Recognizing exceptional and innovative service at the Southcoast Behavioral Health Hospital
To the Editor: Here on the Southcoast we have increasingly felt the impacts of the mental health and substance abuse crisis that has plagued our neighborhoods, our Commonwealth, and our country. Over the years, government and healthcare providers...
Opinion: Against anti-bee pesticides
To the editor: To this day, having lived in the state of Massachusetts for all my life, even now during my university days, my favorite thing about this part of the region is the cold winter weather. I loved waking up to a snow-covered lawn and...
Opinion: Regarding how to fund the school budget
To the editor: The funding of the school budget is not a contest to see where Dartmouth places among Massachusetts towns, but rather an allocation of the money the Town raises by taxes, mostly the property tax levy of about $100 million. The choices...
Opinion: A response regarding the school budget
To the editor: I just want to clarify some counterpoints made in the response to my original op-ed. First: I did not say that funds are being cut and that funds are being shifted from the schools to other town departments. Rather, the 2.78% budget...
Opinion: Regarding the use of one-time funds in schools budget
To the editor: I need to respond to an opinion about school funding being "cut." The Dartmouth School Committee has used nonrecurring money (savings) to fund recurring expenses (salaries). This is a recipe for disaster and the coming crash is...
Opinion: Regarding Dartmouth’s school budget and staff downsizing
To the editor: On Monday, Feb. 10, the Dartmouth Public Schools presented their draft budget to the School Committee and it seems the schools will be downsizing for the third year in a row. It may seem minor that the downsizing this year will only...
Opinion: Regarding speeding in Padanaram
To the editor: My heart goes out to the poor woman's family after she was hit by a car while crossing Bridge Street in a crosswalk. As a person who crosses Bridge Street twice a day while walking my dog, I can say after many close calls that it is a...
