I absolutely appreciate those first steps towards a better, cleaner Brattleboro. As the person who started the petition, I want to share why I chose to participate...

She was the longtime companion of mystery writer Dashiell Hammett for three decades until his death in 1961. She was an unapologetic leftist whose political activities in the 1930s and 1940s earned her the wrath of the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950s, and who stood up against the anti-Communist witch hunt that came to be...
