The police alternative department in Amherst has records of three 911 calls during a 78-day period during this past winter despite having a director, an administrative assistant, and eight full-time responders costing about $641,520.
A staff member for CRESS – which stands for Community Responders for Equity, Safety, and Service – told a town board that she wasn't sure if that call figure for the time between December 18, 2023 and March 4, 2024 is accurate.
President Joe Biden has a much smaller lead among young voters over former President Donald Trump than he did this time four years ago, according to a poll by the Institute of Politics at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
Biden, a Democrat, leads Trump, a Republican, by 8 percentage points among all 18-to-29-year-olds, the Harvard Youth Poll found, but that's 15 percentage points lower than the 23-point lead he had at this point during the 2020 campaign.
