Lawler Is Fearmongering

To the Editor, I was very disturbed reading Congressman Lawler’s recent newsletter regarding a local tragedy. He wrote, a woman and her children were “shot by someone who shouldn’t have even been in this country.” He neglected to identify that “someone” as the... More »

Thanks For Voting

The Hudson Independent To the Editor I want to express my deep gratitude for those who voted in the recent election; we received an outpouring of support – over 70% in Westchester. I fully intend to work hard in the House of Representatives over the next two y... More »

Thank You, River Arts

I would like to thank River Arts for sponsoring their annual studio arts tour this past weekend. I visited some of the artists and was very impressed with how spectacular their work is. The River Arts studio tours is a great opportunity for residents to apprec... More »

Vote For Prop One

To the Editor and Readers: New Yorkers support freedom and equality and want to defend those rights by all means possible. In this election we can do that by flipping our ballots and voting YES to Prop 1, the NY ERA.  Prop 1 protects us from government discrim... More »

Bike Sharing

I read the article about possible bike sharing in the Rivertowns. I think this is a great idea. I suggest that if the village goes forward with bike sharing that you extend the program to The Marriott Hotel & Sheraton which is in unincorporated Greenburgh. Bik... More »

We Can’t Trust Lawler

To the Editor Mike Lawler says “We should be unleashing American energy, not restricting it even further” (see the video clip on X for yourself). He’s already voted to install a climate denier as Speaker of the House, and he keeps saying he’ll vote for candida... More »

“Fascist Generals: A Gut Punch

To the Editor: “I wish I had generals like Hitler.”  Only Trump who is descending more and more into madness has the hubris to say this aloud to the American people.  It’s a gut punch. He must be stopped. One can only imagine how families who lost loved ones i... More »

Mr. Lawler Can’t Have It Both Ways.

To the Editor: Last week’s debate on News 12 between Congressional candidates Mondaire Jones and Mike Lawler was a feisty exchange, with each accusing the other of misrepresenting their positions on various issues. The debate came into focus toward the end whe... More »

In The End, Lawler Will Vote With MAGA

To the Editor, The government is supposed to use its vast powers to prosecute cases based on the facts and the law. When those powers are used against individuals not based on the facts and  law, but based on the whims of a politician or party  seeking retribu... More »

The Choice In District 17 Is Clear

To the Editor, The campaign for Congressional District 17 has gotten pretty messy and deeply negative, so perhaps we ought to look at what the candidates might actually do if elected. Democrat Mondaire Jones is a strong supporter of women’s reproductive rights... More »

A Vote For Mondaire Jones

In recent weeks Congressman Lawler has taken out ads blasting former Congressman Mondaire Jones for being a “radical.” I think the accusations are unfair. And encourage voters to re-elect Mondaire Jones to Congress. Former Congressman Mondaire Jones was an eff... More »

Watch How Lawler Votes On The Important Bills

To the Editor, Despite his opponents’ debunked claims to the contrary, Democratic Congressional candidate Mondaire Jones is far from a wide-eyed, left-wing radical. In fact, he has moderated a number of his positions since his previous stint in Congress. So if... More »

Sleepy Hollow’s Climate Action Plan Comes Together

To the editor: At the August 6th work session of the Sleepy Hollow Board of Trustees, the discussion was interrupted by a crashing and banging outside the window. What could it be? After pausing the meeting, the Mayor concluded it must be the sound of a sudden... More »

We Need More Voting Boxes

I have been calling on the Board of Elections to place voting drop voting boxes outside convenient locations in Westchester County for over four years. These drop voting boxes enable voters to conveniently drop off their ballots 24 hours a day at convenient an... More »

Is This Intersection Too Dangerous?

In recent weeks some residents have expressed concerns about safety at the intersection of Mountain Road and Saw Mill River Parkway. Any safety improvements will require NYS Department of Transportation involvement. I’m writing to you to ask your thoughts abou... More »
