To the Editor:
Generally, I look forward to reading The Eastwick Press in order to keep abreast of community events, politics, view the photos and read there related stories. Although, I enjoy reading many of these local articles, I was overwhelmed by the attention the Grafton Town Board meeting received in the March 25 edition. What surprised me even more was how misrepresented my statement to Kathleen Bly was written and that it appeared without quotes. For this, I would like to set-the-record straight.

Letter To The Editor – Grafton Government In Turmoil – Refuting An Accusation
Dear Editor:
I am hopeful you will consider publishing the following letter in response to a charge that was made about me during the public session of the last Grafton Town Board meeting.
First, to be open and honest, I want to identify myself as the current Democratic Party Chairman in the Town of Grafton. The recent incident I am writing about does not, however, concern that position.

Letter To The Editor – Follow The Vote
To the Editor:
The manner in which the Berlin Town Board conducts itself and determines that my community is too ignorant to know what we want or what the implications will be down the road is truly a disgrace. Berlin is the laughing stock of neighboring towns and villages.

Letter To The Editor – Wrong Place For Budget Talks
To the Editor:
For years I have stood by, idly, and reserved my opinion, in hopes that cooler heads would prevail. Unfortunately this has not occurred, and I must comment, as a responsible parent, on a student assembly held on, March 24, 2011. I am absolutely appalled that my daughter was removed from class and herded into an assembly in regards to the issues relative to this year’s school budget.

Letter To The Editor – Conflict Of Interest – New Lebanon
To the Editor:
Is anyone in the Town of New Lebanon reading the newspapers? Does no one object to the fact that our town government is allowing multiple family members to serve on boards and in official positions simultaneously? This IS Conflict of Interest.

BCSD Teacher Contracts Up For Renewal: Need Our Awareness And Input
To the Editor:
Why is it that the Berlin School Board and the Eastwick Press, although being most aggressive in communicating to the public about relatively peripheral Berlin School District issues like lead paint and the periodic Kabuki dance over the school budget votes, why is it that they utterly fail to communicate with the voters about the one issue that vastly more significantly affects the taxes we pay, namely the impending contract negotiations with the Berlin Teachers Association?

Letter To The Editor – No Answers Given
Dear Editor;
I am a loyal and faithful reader and subscriber to the Eastwick Press. I am writing with respect to your report on the Grafton Town Board meeting in the Feb. 18 issue of the Press. It covered several interesting topics. I was especially interested in the questions raised in the public comment period. I was frustrated because the report was incomplete.
