Letter To The Editor: Vote Nancy Vann Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail peekskill@dailyvoice.com. A wise man once said, "The voting booth is the last place where, rich or poor, everyone speaks with the same volume." Voting is our opportunity to express disapproval of damage taking place daily in White Plains and Washington. My opponent is a devoted supporter of Rob Astorino and his agenda. I disagree.

Letter To The Editor: Setting The Record Straight Letter To The Editor: Setting The Record Straight
Letter To The Editor: Setting The Record Straight Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail ossining@dailyvoice.com. Catherine Borgia and her Indivisible supporters are at it again, completely fabricating quotes and stories to malign my character and to distract voters from the choice that they have to make on Election Day. Let me say this clearly: At no point, to the best of my knowledge, did I respond to an officer-involved car accident involving Ms. Shapiro, as she describes in her letter to the editor. Her intentions, and the intentions of Catherine Borgia, are obvious: she …
