Letter To The Editor: Responding To Catherine Borgia Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail ossining@dailyvoice.com. As I stated yesterday, in a Letter to the Editor on Daily Voice, I am deeply concerned by Catherine Borgia’s professional relationship to the Hudson Institute property, a relationship she has failed to disclose to her voters – including in a lengthy letter to the Patch that she posted yesterday. To my concerns, Catherine Borgia has challenged me to “substantiate [my] most recent ‘false’ allegation, suggesting [she has] any involvement with the Hudson Institute.” A…

Final Countdown: Who Will You Be Voting For In County Exec Race? WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- The Westchester County Executive Race has come down to the wire. After two months of nasty back and forth, voters will get to choose Tuesday between Republican incumbent Rob Astorino, who is running for a third term and his challenger Senator George Latimer (D-Rye.) Astorino has touted his record of not raising the county's tax levy in the eight years he's been in office, as well as adding jobs. Latimer has criticized Astorino for mismanaging the county's finances, balancing the budget via gimmicks and one shot. Astorino said Latimer will raise taxes if elected, …

Letter To The Editor: Keep The Facts Going Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail northwestdutchess@dailyvoice.com. Just quoted by Tyner: "Wake up folks-- Mr. Gannon is trying to use a classic straw-man argument here-- the fact is that I never stated that the issue of Hyde Park school property taxes here in Clinton was completely solved-- just that I have worked on it". Tyner says he worked on it, not currently working on it! What has he done in the Past Few Years on this issue ? Did he stop pursuing it because he thought it was corrected and a closed issue …

Letter To The Editor: Vote Kevin Hansan Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail poundridge@dailyvoice.com. To the Editor: Having worked with Kevin Hansan over the past twelve years, I can attest to the fact he is an incredibly creative manager, who has dedicated a great portion of his career to designing innovative programs that have moved some of our most important government services into the 21st century. The Westchester County Clerk's office was chugging away in 2006 using 1980's technology, while processing mountains of legal and land records paper, slowing fi…

Letter To The Editor: Vote Bonnie Schwartz Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail poundridge@dailyvoice.com. Re-elect Bonnie Schwartz to Town Board In some elections, voters are presented with tough choices on the ballot. Bonnie Schwartz is not tough to get behind. I wouldn’t say that she’s the easy choice… she’s the obvious choice. Beyond a doubt, councilwoman Schwartz is the most qualified person to be re-elected to the Town Board of Pound Ridge on November 7. In all she has done, for the past 24 years, Bonnie exemplifies honesty, fairness, thoughtfulness and caring…

Letter To The Editor: Vote Joel Tyner 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, It is abhorrent that a candidate who would not even debate publicly with her opponent for a seat as county legislator, despite Mr. Tyner's frequent requests for such debate, would try to gain political traction by smearing his good name. As a Jewish woman and member of the Chabad community of Rhinebeck, I resent anyone who lies about the humanitarian and unprejudiced character of Joel Tyner by calling him "antisemitic." I have kno…

Dear Editor: Wake up folks-- Mr. Gannon is trying to use a classic straw-man argument here-- the fact is that I never stated that the issue of Hyde Park school property taxes here in Clinton was completely solved-- just that I have worked on it. Fact: I organized and hosted a public forum on this very issue June 25, 2014 at the West Clinton Fire Station #1-- I did apply public pressure (on Democrats on the Hyde Park Town Board) for exactly what Mr. Ganno…
