Comments Categorized Incorrectly       Dear Brian: It's hard to believe that after so many years of covering Putnam Valley politics, your so called "reporter" Ed Greiff could get it so wrong when he described my comments about the proposed new firehouse at the April 16th town meeting. More ... A Real Whodunit       Dear Editor: Friday night, April 25, 2008, the Philipstown Depot Theatre presented Arsenic and Old Lace. When the play was over, the garbage was put out, the theatre was readied for the following night and the cast went home around 11:45pm. More ... Shared Services Can Be a Confidence Building Measure for School Districts       Dear Editor: My recent letters to this newspaper suggesting the consolidation of Haldane school district with its neighbors caught the attention of Assemblywoman Sandy Galef or at least her staff. With her invitation in hand, I recently attended the symposium on "Shared Services" that she organiz... More ... Time for a Conciliatory Approach to Village Government       To the Editor: Many residents of the village may be inclined to see this week's dramatic events involving Mayor Anthony Philips and Trustee Seth Gallagher as a sudden explosion in an otherwise quiet political scene. There's a great deal more to the story. More ... Marie Zarcone Deserves to be Reelected       Dear Editor: I would like to urge my fellow Putnam Valley residents to get involved and vote on May 20 in the school budget. As you remember, in 2005 the school budget passed by one vote. Also, at that time, Marie Zarcone, an experienced school board Trustee, and the president of the concerned ta... More ... Not Realistic to Run Businesses Out of Town       Dear Editor: There appears to be an uproar in our community over commercial property development.

Make Sure Your Facts are True Facts       To the Editor: I am writing this letter in response to the full page ad in last week's paper from the Philipstown Citizen Alliance. My Father Joe Giachinta is one of the owners of the Gas Station Project on Route 9 & 403. He has developed many buildings along route 9 and they all have the same th... More ... Questions Role of Building Code Department       Dear Editor: I question the role of Tom Monroe of the Building Code Department because his office has done little or nothing to cease the Light Trespass nuisance my family has been subject to since December of 2007. According to Town Code, Light Trespass is a violation, and the ordinance is desig... More ... It's in Everyone's Interest to Resolve Gas Station Issues       Dear Editor: I may not know all the facts regarding the proposed new Gas Station at the intersection of Route 9 and 403, but I do know that every time a car passes there and buys gas and other goods in Westchester County, we Putnam County are losing greatly needed sale taxes. This station will cr... More ... Trustees Agree to New Numbered Key Policy       Dear Editor: In a newspaper article last week regarding undeclared gasoline use by Cold Spring's current mayor, Anthony Phillips, the Journal News writes "He has just instituted a specific account for himself…" Actually, he has instituted no policy, as he did not show up for the last meeti... More ... Gouldman is a Taxpayer Advocate       To the Editor: I would like to applaud Bill Gouldman, candidate for New York State Assembly, for standing up for local taxpayers. His call last week to lower the taxes on gasoline would provide much needed relief. Bill Gouldman understands the pinch that we're all feeling and he's not one of thes... More ... Philipstown Watchdog Has Too Many Tics       To the Editor: Russ never sleeps. Cusick is still at it.

"Killing of a Hudson River Tributary, Parts I, II and III" are priceless, albeit amateur. More ...
