Hey, Greylock Nation —



Welcome to this week’s episode of the Top Left Corner! Another blessedly rainy day here in the Berkshires. Did you know that our region is flirting with drought conditions already? Don’t fret about the clouds. The sun will return in good time.



We continue to ponder all the candidates for the contested races that will be decided at the ballot box on May 11.



Today we’ve got interviews with Sonya Bykofsky, head of the Lenox Democratic Committee, to talk about the state of play in the continuing Gus Bickford Saga.



Then, Andrew Farnitano will be on The Top Left Corner (live internet radio show) this morning just after 10:00 a.m. to talk about the Fair Share Amendment.



AND the only candidate to respond to our invitation to submit a 5 minute audio message to voters was Williamstown Planning Board candidate Roger Lawrence. His segment is at the 01:44:15 mark if you want to go straight to it.



We’ve had great audience participation during our candidate interviews. You can make comments or ask questions using the chat box on our show page, via email, [email protected], or our Twitter handle: @RadioFreeBerks.



If you’re here for the first time, the Top Left Corner is a locally focused weekly live internet radio show and podcast based in Williamstown, Mass. We do our best to wade through the spin and biases and cowardice and bring back the important stuff that most of us really care about. Every Wednesday, we’re going to tell you what we think about local current events and the national stories that directly affect the people of Williamston and Berkshire County. We also interview amazing guests.



–Jay and Steve

The Fair Share Amendment is a proposal to amend the Massachusetts Constitution, creating an additional tax of four percentage points on the portion of a person’s annual income above $1 million. The new revenue, approximately $2 billion a year, would be spent on “quality public education and affordable public colleges and universities, and for the repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and public transportation.” To ensure that the amendment continues to apply only to the highest inco...
