I’m Not Voting For Unite Sleepy Hollow; This Is Why
Dear Editor: I’ve spent the last 20 years in Sleepy Hollow. What makes the Tarrytowns special is that we are, above all else, a community. People from these villages live here for generations, often in the same houses they grew up in. Our kids go to school tog... More »
On Budgets And Borrowing In Sleepy Hollow
I had hoped to submit only my positive endorsement of Marjorie Hsu for Sleepy Hollow mayor and of Cory Krall, Jairo Triguero, and Jared Rodriguez for trustees, but I must also comment on a critical disagreement between the two slates — whether the Village shou... More »

A Sleepy Hollow Budget Overview

Lawler’s Aid Policy Is Indifference—And Indifference Leads To Death

The Choice Is Clear
Letter to the Editor One of the parties in the Sleepy Hollow village election calls itself “Unite” and says they are “non-partisan.” This is a strange claim from a group composed entirely of registered Republicans—and one Conservative. Hardly non-partisan. The... More »
