Egremont Board Back Consolidation of Town Insurance
Egremont Selectmen approved a proposal by Finance Committeeman C. J. Laramie to prepare bid farms for a multiple-peril policy to cover all fire and general liability insurance for the town except workers compensation and automotive equipment. Laramie outlined that current coverage is inadequate due to split policies with different agencies. The plan aims to ensure unified, consistent protection by knowing all existing policies.

Klein Wins Special Election For Stockbridge School Board Seat
Paul A. Klein Jr., Democrat, defeats Republican Nabih Nejaime by 85 votes in a 534 ballot Stockbridge special election to break a prior deadlock. Klein, 53, English teacher at Wahtonah High School, has 29 years teaching and previously served on the former Stockbridge School Committee. The race had 308 votes for Klein and 223 for Nejaime with three blank ballots. Stockbridge voters also note a postponed Hatch Act hearing for a pontoon bridge replacement, now unnecessary as local boards approved. a construction permit will suffice. Water service will be shut off for arrears by May 31 with a $5 restoration charge.
