Chamber Funding is Money Well Spent



Dear Editor: Thank you for your recent article discussing the work being done to enhance the commerce district of Mahopac and provide additional opportunities to the businesses of Putnam County. The Economic Opportunity Center is a complex project with many details yet to be determined, so I wanted to address a few concerns raised by the article. The project will […]

Kaplowitz is Not What He Seems



Dear Editor: I was one of the citizens who attended Mike Kaplowitz’s press conference on Monday, July 26 and I am writing to express my disappointment with the reporting of the event in your article “Kaplowitz Seeks Pension Reform.” The article very inaccurately describes Mike Kaplowitz’s interactions with the citizen protestors at the event. If, as the article states “there […]

Wild West Zoning?



Dear Editor: If Putnam Valley were in the Wild West—without civil and criminal legal codes and the means to enforce these; without zoning and building codes; without an active and educated citizenry, there might be an argument made in support of the incentive zoning which Mr. Tendy wants. However, since we do have these many layers of protection for our […]

Vegetarian Verbiage



Dear Editor: Although I read with interest your article of July 22 entitled “Should Town Vehicle Be Used For Personal Trips?” I was confused. You stated towards the end of the article that the town expected to have $3500 from an “escarole account.” I humbly submit that perhaps a Broccoli Rabe, or even a Collard Greens account would be more […]

Dear Editor: What’s wrong with this picture? Greg Ball gropes a waitress in an Albany watering hole. Greg Ball finds a dead goat on his front lawn. Greg Ball reveals he was sexually abused as a child. Greg Ball’s former girl-friend applies for and receives a restraining order against him for stalking and harassing her. Greg Ball exits the Air […]

Food or Taxes



Dear Editor: Most of us remember the progressive mantra from the last two presidential campaigns about people having to choose between food, health care, or housing. Food, healthcare, or housing – that’s all we heard from the progressives and their minions in the main stream media. However, the real choice was never between any of these. The real choice was […]

Berwick’s Qualifications



Dear Editor: This is an alert to all concerned citizens,especially seniors. The president has given a recess appointment to a Dr.Donald Berwick; naming him director of the CMS:The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Obama did not want the public to be informed of this man’s radical Marxist views,and therefore bypassed the normal senate confirmation process, thus allowing this man,neither […]

Ball’s Embarrassing Behavior



Dear Editor: Assemblyman Greg Ball has long been an embarrassment to the people in the district he is supposed to serve, but his most recent behavior has moved from embarrassing to potentially criminal – it is time for him to resign and go away. Recent reports of Ball’s booze-fueled, indecent advances toward a waitress in Albany have raised the potential […]

Ball’s Embarrassing Behavior



Dear Editor: Assemblyman Greg Ball should be commended for the work he has done in Albany and in our community to help families with special needs children, to call attention to dangerous loopholes in sexual predator laws, and for introducing strict legislation to protect women who are the victims of domestic abuse. When false allegations are intentionally proffered solely to […]

Support for Katz



Dear Editor: I would like to extend my support for Steve Katz who is running for the 99th Assembly seat. I have come to know Steve over the last year and know him to be an honorable man with the commitment to do what is best for the state as his only motivation for running for public office. I know […]
