Can Brattleboro be better than this?

BRATTLEBORO — Here goes Brattleboro with all the wonderful people who support children, women, vulnerable people and healthy living but not in their neighborhood.

This stinks of the hysterical reactions to the proposed Crowell Lot skatepark: Lots of people with personal agendas blowing lots of smoke about how awful the proposed change will be. That is to say, it's a great project but just put it somewhere else.

Someday, the facts will be indisputable: that you cannot continue to shunt the undesirable (to you) aspects of local life from out of your view.

Heartless responses to a dire local need. Can you be better than this, Brattleboro?
