Dear Editor,
I am responding to your article on the BCS District Vote under the “Accusations of Election Law Violations.” As I read the article I just couldn’t believe that the Acting School Board President, Bev Stewart, would discuss and share with Mr. Zlotnick (a candidate for a school board position) the information she had regarding a possible invalidation of the other school board position candidates’ nomination petitions.

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.

Letter To The Editor – Berlin Lumber – A Reflection
To the Editor:
I offer my apologies to the voters of the Town of Berlin.
How naive I was to think that after the majority of the voters on the 19th of July 2010 voted to purchase the Berlin Lumber property that the Board would not follow their decision.
Instead my fellow Board members banded together to follow their own vision of what the Town should be. This was driven by their desire to prevent the Highway Superintendent from having a better facility from which to provide service to the townspeople.

Letter To The Editor – An Amazing Outpouring Of Assistance
Letter to the editor:
Every so often a situation arises that allows us to see first hand the acts of selfless dedication that so many individuals in our communities and region make on a regular basis that have an impact on all our lives. The recent propane tanker fire in Hoosick is one such incident where we were all witness to an amazing outpouring of assistance from across the entire County and beyond to help ensure a positive outcome.

Letter To The Editor – Stay Where You Are
Dear Editor,
I recently read in the paper that the Hoosick Town Supervisor and the Town Board are asking for suggestions on where to move the Town offices in the event that they will no longer be able to lease space in the Armory from New York State.
My vote is to stay where they are. In most cases, if they close an Armory, the State will offer it to towns for a nominal fee, such as a $1. The Hoosick Falls Armory is a sound and useful Town structure. Within the past few years a new roof was put on and the interior was repainted.

Letter To The Editor – Just My Perspective……
To the editor,
Last year at this time, 3 weeks away from the BCSD budget vote, BOE election and Capital Improvement referendum vote, it was hard to predict what would happen on May 18th! When polls closed I was still awake and pleased to hear that the voters in the Berlin Central School District had sent a very important message. They elected 2 new BOE members that were offering ideas that could make the BCSD a much more dynamic place to educate children. They re-elected a BOE member who had been advocating for change throughout her entire first term. The voters said “NO” to the budget that opened the door to a building plan that was incomplete and would place a financial burden on the community.

Letter To The Editor – Grafton Government In Turmoil – Dirty Political Posturing
To the Editor:
For the past 9 months or so, I have witnessed and read some of the dirtiest political posturing and deception waged by a handful of political operatives I believe the residents of Grafton have ever been subjected to.
The outright lies and innuendos this small group have put forth against the hard working members of our Town Board and its Officials is despicable, and I believe will prove to be a fruitless attempt to advance their political agendas.

Letter To The Editor – Grafton Government In Turmoil – The Board Cares
Letter to the Editor:
I’m wondering if anyone else has noticed that the SAME handful of people keep down-grading our Town Officials in the Eastwick Press and at our Town Board Meetings? Could it be that they are “staging” and using these venue’s to further their OWN political agenda’s or personal vendetas? The Board I see are mostly born and raised Graftonites who CARE about the town they LIVE in; it is certainly not for the pay or abuse they get.
