Letter To The Editor – A Letter From The Hoosick Supervisor
Dear Concerned Citizen:
I greatly appreciate you reaching out to various members of the Board for their thoughts on taking possession of the Armory. Personally my love for the building is enormous, the architectural layout of the building to start with is one of a kind. The building almost has a magical feel to it, kind of like when you were a kid and held this firm belief that one day you would own your own castle. Of course that day never comes…….

Grafton Town Board Report Correction
The Grafton Ambulance report in the Town Board meeting report in the March 16 Eastwick said that Beth Wagar had resigned from the Squad, which is not correct. She sent a letter saying that she could no longer respond to calls either as a driver or EMT, but she remains an auxiliary member and will continue to go to all meetings and stay involved.
Letter To The Editor – A Hidden Agenda?
To the Editor:
I was dismayed to read your account of the Hoosick Town Council meeting held on February 29. Apparently, the Council voted to suspend the process of hiring an engineering/architectural firm to study the cost of keeping the Armory as the Town Hall, versus building a new building.

Letter To The Editor – When A Dollar Could Cost Millions
To the Editor:
After months of investigation and fact finding about the Hoosick Falls Armory I am compelled to bring forth my finds and concerns.
As you [the public] know, a concerned group of Town residents have signed their 300 plus names on a form stating they want the Town offices to stay in the Armory. At several meetings a group of up to 70 at times, has voiced their wants and desires on the subject. [Read more…] about Letter To The Editor – When A Dollar Could Cost Millions
Letter To The Editor – Wake Up Hoosick!
To the Editor:
The Councilman’s [Patire] opinions may not be based on facts. Is anybody really buying Bruce Patire’s story that he is acting in the best interest of the taxpayers? It seems Mr. Patire left something out of his letter to the Editor. (The letter appeared in area newspapers earlier this week.) He mentioned that he attended a [Town] Board meeting but failed to mention that he (after he was elected to the Board) explained why he thought the best option for the Town was to have the Town purchase the Patire used car dealership on Main Street in Hoosick Falls.
