Quote of the Day
"I’m delighted to congratulate our 40 winners on their impressive achievements. Every day, they help make our beloved Island a better place to live, work, and raise a family simply by doing the incredible work they do day in and day out. They are truly movers and shakers in their industries."
— Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce executive director Carolina

"There was ZERO opposition to the MVC incumbents in the last election. You want change then run or find other qualified people willing to serve their community. Otherwise keep your thoughts to yourself."Hot Topic LetterArielle Faria and Juliette Fay, co-chairs of the Coalition to Create the MV Housing Bank, write to us about continuing the effort to create housing:
"We must continue to press for change not just at the state level but locally as well. We need to work closely with members of our selectboards, planning boards, and town committees to come up with creative solutions for our ever-growing housing crisis. We also need to educate our family members, friends, and colleagues about the importance of our
mission."
