Have I missed my deadline? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just coming out of a shock induced by people who are my neighbors. Foolish me, I thought even though we may be on different sides politically, we look out for one another. I see you by the side of the road, I stop and pick you up and use my cell phone to call a tow truck. I see you have a tree on your roof I call for help if you're not home. You limp into the town hall to vote with a bad leg, I let you go ahead of me if there's a line. Like that.

The recently closed New Lebanon Supermarket is a like a sharp belly blow to the shoppers and to the business district. Let's face it. No one store can compete with Price Chopper in Chatham (slated for expansion) and Big Y in Pittsfield. Why Try?

To the Editor:
In order for us to truly reform the way Albany does business, we must alter the document that dictates how our government is run--the state constitution. Recent events in Albany have clearly reinforced the need to reform state government, so that it represents the people, not special interests or even itself.
The political paralysis of our state Legislature has led to perpetual dysfunction and lackluster decision making. The electorate is angry and they don't want do-nothing incumbents who sit idly by while their cost of living skyrockets and their government operates with little or no accountability. While some rush to protect special interests they claim are “too big to fail,” we have allowed for the creation of a state government too big to succeed.
