Letter To The Editor: Vote Bonnie Schwartz Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail poundridge@dailyvoice.com. Re-elect Bonnie Schwartz to Town Board In some elections, voters are presented with tough choices on the ballot. Bonnie Schwartz is not tough to get behind. I wouldn’t say that she’s the easy choice… she’s the obvious choice. Beyond a doubt, councilwoman Schwartz is the most qualified person to be re-elected to the Town Board of Pound Ridge on November 7. In all she has done, for the past 24 years, Bonnie exemplifies honesty, fairness, thoughtfulness and caring…

Letter To The Editor: Vote Debbie Damascus Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail poundridge@dailyvoice.com. I am writing in full support of Debbie Damascus to continue as Receiver of Taxes for Pound Ridge. I am sure many know Debbie through her 18 years at the Town House.

Debbie has an extensive and impressive track record of giving back to our community though volunteer work at PRES, FLMS/HS, St. Patrick's, PR Library Board Member, etc. Debbie has also helped so many in our beloved town, lendi…

Letter To The Editor: Setting The Record Straight Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail northwestdutchess@dailyvoice.com. Dear Editor: Wake up folks-- Mr. Gannon is trying to use a classic straw-man argument here-- the fact is that I never stated that the issue of Hyde Park school property taxes here in Clinton was completely solved-- just that I have worked on it. Fact: I organized and hosted a public forum on this very issue June 25, 2014 at the West Clinton Fire Station #1-- I did apply public pressure (on Democrats on the Hyde Park Town Board) for exactly what Mr. Ganno…

Letter To The Editor: Vote Joel Tyner Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail northwestdutchess@dailyvoice.com. Dear Editor, It is abhorrent that a candidate who would not even debate publicly with her opponent for a seat as county legislator, despite Mr. Tyner's frequent requests for such debate, would try to gain political traction by smearing his good name. As a Jewish woman and member of the Chabad community of Rhinebeck, I resent anyone who lies about the humanitarian and unprejudiced character of Joel Tyner by calling him "antisemitic." I have kno…

Letter To The Editor: Bob Outhouse's Allegations Are False Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail ossining@dailyvoice.com. I challenge Mr. Outhouse to substantiate his most recent false allegation, suggesting I have any involvement with the Hudson Institute. Contrary to his fictitious assertions, I am not involved, nor will I benefit financially from any real estate transaction on that property. These are only the most recent of several outrageous lies told by my opponent’s increasingly unhinged and dirty campaign, since he doesn't have a single substantive issue to run on. I challenge…

Understanding the importance of volunteerism is key to the health & vitality of our town, as Bonnie stated during the debate. She epitomizes that philosophy, not merely talking the talk. Bonnie is knowledgeable and realistic about the issues that face our town, such as the wastewater problems …

Letter To The Editor: Dick Lyman Tried To Bully Me Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail poundridge@dailyvoice.com. Were you ever in a situation where you where you were making a heartfelt argument to someone with opposing views? How did that conversation go? There is a good way to have that dialogue: listening, consideration of the other’s position, respectful response. And there are bad ways; here is one of those bad ways. After the recent Candidates Forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters at the Pound Ridge Library, I approached Town Supervisor Dick Lyman and introdu…
