We at Connect to End Violence recognize the tireless dedication of the Island community in continuing to support our work.

At the town meeting in Oak Bluffs on Nov. 13, voters will be asked to vote for repairs at the Oak Bluffs Schoo and additional funds to finally build a new town hall.

I would like to urge my fellow Oak Bluffs voters and taxpayers to vote in favor of supporting our new town hall and our elementary school.

It’s going to hurt to authorize an additional $1.3 million for our new Oak Bluffs town hall. But in the long run, it would hurt a lot more to abandon the project at this critical time.
