Letter: Faulty Conclusions About Youth Center
Letter to the Editor,
04:00PM / Tuesday, January 17, 2023

To the Editor:

I am disappointed that I have to write yet again to address the many faulty conclusions and misleading figures published on your website regarding the Williamstown Youth Center's funding request to the town. To publish one such letter, along with a response, seems to me a reasonable presentation of differing opinions for your readers to sort out. To publish a second does not encourage not public debate about an important issue but simply kickstarts a useless back and forth that can only cause bad feelings and muddy the discussion of a pretty simple request.

Pat Meyers can write a letter every day of the week that would only restate the concerns expressed in their
