The decision to revoke the Martha’s Vineyard Playhouse’s property tax exemption raises a lot more questions.

Chief McNamee, I want to introduce myself and thank you and your department for their assistance and impressive police work.

I learned a great deal being away at college, one of which is my appreciation for the respect our community has for our Island’s ecosystem.

Thank you for Steve Myrick’s article on the shotgun season for deer.

I was pleased to hear that the Field Fund agrees that the existing high school fields are in deplorable condition.

The top-to-bottom review of charitable organizations by the Tisbury assessors seems to be scraping the very bottom of the barrel.

I am writing to express my dismay at the Town of Tisbury Board of Assessors’ unilateral decision to deny the Martha’s Vineyard Playhouse its tax exempt status.

The recent meeting is the latest of a periodic and relentless effort by the Ag Society, over the past 25 years, to change the governing rules.

Five decades ago I entered the US Army not because I wanted to protect our right of free speech or any other right we as Americans enjoy.

Leading Man

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

The world has lost a great leader in George H.W. Bush, with whom I had the honor of serving as Secretary of the U.S Department of Health and Human Services.

In addition to his political and military leadership, President Bush was a great supporter of education and equal opportunity for all Americans. Some of his medical achievements include providing substantial funding for AIDS education, research and care. He also supported our efforts to reduce drug addiction, tobacco use and to develop other preventive programs.
