Letter To The Editor – Why Did We Vote?
To the Editor
First, I would like to thank Mr. Kramer for pointing out in his recent coverage of the debacle that was the last town meeting, that the Berlin Town Supervisor is a very qualified man with an impressive business background. Rob Jaeger has, in my opinion, done a commendable job, given the amount of grief he’s had to contend with from the very UNqualified council members with which we are presently afflicted.

Letters To The Editor – I Did Not Sign The Petition
To the Editor:
It is Tuesday, May 3, 2011, and I have just been asked to sign a petition. I did not sign the petition. What was it regarding? The purchase or attempted purchase of the Berlin Lumber site by the Town of Berlin.
I have stated in the past through personal conversation and publicly through the Eastwick Press that I, for one, am absolutely against the Town of Berlin, a public and non-taxable entity, purchasing this piece of property for a handful of very important reasons.

Letter To The Editor – Berlin Lumber – A Great Loss
To the Editor:
More people should make an attempt to go to the Berlin Town Board meetings. I admit that I was one of those people who voted people into office and assumed that they would do what was best for the town. I kept up with what was happening through the Eastwick Press. Then I decided it was time to go and support our town supervisor. He has put his whole heart into trying to improve the quality of this town. The other board members seem to want to keep everything the way it has been for years.
