Letter To The Editor: Vote Pound Ridge Republicans Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail poundridge@dailyvoice.com.

Yet, in spite of all this, if I had my way I would disband the committee tomorrow, ask the Democrats to do the same and never allow another candidate to run on a national political line again in this town. That’s what the last 9 months of identity politi…

George Latimer is challenging two term incumbent, Rob Astorino. Sadly, most people don’t turn out to vote in off-year (non presidential) elections. After all, this is Westchester. Our taxes may be high, but life is pretty good here. Wh…
