Letter To The Editor: Vote Pound Ridge Democrats Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail poundridge@dailyvoice.com. It really is now or never for Pound Ridge and it really does begin locally I hadn’t personally subscribed to the philosophy that all politics begins locally until this last year. Here’s why my view has changed. While many of us were mourning on the day after the Presidential election (Pound Ridge voted against Trump 2 to 1), the leadership of the Pound Ridge Republican Committee wanted help in requesting Inauguration tickets from our Dem congressman. We are th…

Letter To The Editor: Vote Dick Lyman Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail poundridge@dailyvoice.com. We have lived and raised our family in Pound Ridge for nearly 40 years. We’ve seen many changes here. Its more environmentally friendly now, and it’s filled with more young families who utilize the town’s resources more than when me migrated from N.Y.C. Yet the town remains charmingly quaint. Pound Ridge protects its bucolic nature, its privacy. It values its unpretentious citizens, and encourages the kindness and helpfulness of the people who live and work here…

Letter To The Editor: Vote George Latimer Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail cortlandt@dailyvoice.com. Dear Editor, Rob Astorino, Westchester’s County Executive, has been involved with pay to play schemes, aligned himself with Trump on countless legally and morally questionable policies, and benefited from the dark money of a Trump supporter with ties to Brietbart. So why is he even competitive in the County Executive Race? Westchester has more registered Democrats than Republicans. Our County Legislature has more Democratic Legislators than Republicans. But twic…

Letter To The Editor: New Yorktown Republican Mailing Is Even Worse Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail yorktown@dailyvoice.com. Republicans Put Alice Roker in Back of The Bus Articles in our local papers as well as network nightly news coverage reported that Yorktown’s Republicans have come under fire for sending out a campaign mailing that some have criticized for being anti-Semitic and racist. I will give Supervisor Michael Grace and Deputy Supervisor Gregory Bernard the benefit of the doubt on this one. Grace and Bernard probably just wanted to continue to show disdain toward their Demo…

Letter To The Editor: Correcting The Record Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail northwestdutchess@dailyvoice.com. Dear Editor: First-- Mr. Gannon calls it "ironic" that apparently according to him that it's only just "now" that I'm responding to his letters, but the truth is that I've always responded to them-- whether they've been published or not. In fact, a while ago Mr. Gannon and I corresponded on the issue of property taxes. As Mr. Gannon may recall, I've publicly pressed the Hyde Park Town Board to do a revaluation of properties there so t…

Letter To The Editor: Joel Tyner Ignores His Constituents Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail northwestdutchess@dailyvoice.com. It is ironic that Joel Tyner has now responded to my letters and now he’s trying to attack Joan Carbonaro for not debating him. Carbonaro stated many times in public, on the radio and in newspaper interviews that she intended to take her message to the people and not waste time talking with this career politician. Except for a few radicals or uninformed people, Tyner has ignored his constituents in Rhinebeck and Clinton. So if he ignored us for 14 years, I…

Letter to the editor: If you are appalled by the injustices of the Trump administration, you can make a difference by voting for George Latimer for County Executive and Catherine Borgia for County Legislator.
