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. For the past two years I have had the privilege of working on the Pound Ridge Town Board under the leadership of Dick Lyman.

Dear Editor, It's no secret that Bonnie Schwartz is my friend. You can see us together on the bike path to town or gabbing in the aisles of The Market. Bonnie and I discuss many things. I have begun to realize that most of our chatting involves how to fully enjoy Pound Ridge. She keeps me abreast of important events in town like the 9/11 ceremony and events at the town pool. She isn't doing this because of her current position as Town Councilwoman. She has alway…

Letter To The Editor: Rob Astorino Bad For Women Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail whiteplains@dailyvoice.com. To The Editor, I just finished watching the debate for Westchester County Executive between Rob Astorino and George Latimer. Once again Rob Astorino has relegated women to the role of victim and second class citizen. He made a statement that “single women who fear for their life or want to protect their child” own guns. Excuse me?! He even fumbled his wording after that statement and almost laughed. Rob Astorino, who called out Latimer for bringing up Rob’s lac…

Letter To The Editor: My Position On Immigration Was Misquoted Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail ossining@dailyvoice.com. Croton resident Molly Greece purposely and grossly misquoted my position on immigration to spur "outrage" and manufacture "bigoted comments that wreak of conspiracy theories". Like Catherine Borgia, who called Rob Astorino a Nazi for his veto on her Sanctuary County Act, Ms. Greece uses hateful language to dishonestly muddy our political discourse. Ms. Greece, a member of Indivisible, a political activist organization along with Ms. Borgia, rep…

Engel and others, the U.S. Sugar Program continues. The Sugar Program is a Soviet style command and control scheme tha…
