Dear Editor, In an era when too many political endorsements come with hidden strings attached, the Town of Carmel Republican Committee believes in simple truth in advertising. That is why we proudly and openly endorse Jaime Dickson, Joseph... more

Dear Editor, In September 2025, during the last election cycle, the Town Board published an advertisement in this newspaper stating that it had “secured over $5 million in grants for infrastructure... more

Dear Editor, The tragedy of Sheridan Gorman’s senseless murder rightly commands our attention and our determination to understand and, if possible, eliminate the root causes of such violence against the... more

Dear Editor, Joseph Lupo’s letter about the vigil at Reis Park was inaccurate, ill conceived and unfortunately consistent with MAGA extremism ("Vigil for Good and Pretti was disgraceful," April 9,... more

Dear Editor, Immigrants have always been an easy target and the United States has a long history of scapegoating ethnic and religious minorities, as well as the poor. Chinese, Irish, Italian, Muslim,... more

Dear Editor, I read with interest the articles and letter to the editor regarding the Mahopac School District budget and bond proposals. I attend most work sessions and board meetings and am very aware of the inter-dynamics of the board... more

Dear Editor, In the wake of Sheridan Gorman’s horrific and senseless murder, Yorktown News publisher Brett Freeman called on readers to “come together, support one another, and help ensure Sheridan’s life is honored—and never forgotten," (Yorktown tragedy felt across region, questions remain). more

Dear Editor, The recent decision by Lakeland Superintendent Dr. Karen Gagliardi to invest in a large number of diesel buses and assorted gas-driven vehicles, seemingly a pre-emption to the NYS Electric Bus mandate coming in 2027, is a continuing affront to Yorktown's children. more

Dear Editor, At this time, I need the town and school to work in collaboration to address our community and school family’s concerns. At the recent Town Board meeting, it was announced that March would be recognized as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in Yorktown. Now that April is here — dedicated to Autism Awareness — this is a particularly fitting and timely topic to address. As a Yorktown SEPTA board member, a resident for over three decades and a YHS graduate, I am deeply passionate about these concerns and committed to helping resolve them, as they are shared by many in our community — not just myself. more

Dear Editor, This is the United States of America and we are all protected by the First Amendment. The March 22 vigil honoring Renée Good and Alex Pretti, organized by former Town Board member Patrick DeSena, was really sad. more

Dear Editor, There are 6,465 registered Democrats in Carmel. And for too long they have had no voice in their town or county governments. As the newly elected chair of the Carmel Democratic Committee, I am determined to change that. I have good reason to be optimistic. Last year’s Democratic candidates in Carmel significantly closed the gap on Election Day, coming closer to success than they have in decades. County-wide, Philipstown is solidly blue, while Putnam Valley, Patterson and Kent all elected Democrats in their town governments. Our town committee is growing, as well, and I am joined by a strong leadership team to achieve this goal. more

Dear Editor, Every Mike Lawler town hall is fraudulent and an insult to his constituents. I pay his salary; he is my public servant. And as my servant, I expect respect, but all I get at his town halls is insult and disrespect. more

Dear Editor, I attended Congressman Mike Lawler's town hall in Yorktown last month. His positions are deeply MAGA and frankly an affront to the constituents of Congressional District 17. more

Dear Editor, Again? Another life taken from our extended community. Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old freshman at Loyola University Chicago from Yorktown, was doing something entirely normal, walking with friends near campus, when her life was suddenly and violently taken by a criminal in the country here illegally. more

Dear Editor, The recent “No Kings” protests miss a fundamental truth about our country, one that is staring everyone right in the face. more

Dear Editor, The North Salem Republican Town Committee proudly and unequivocally endorses Congressman Mike Lawler for re-election. more

Dear Editor, Congress is supposed to decide when this country goes to war. That’s not a procedural nicety — it’s the Constitution, designed to prevent exactly what we're watching now: a president initiating sustained military action while the public is left to guess at the objective, the legal authority, the cost, and the endgame. more
