FROM THE CHAIRMAN’S PEN Anti-Amazon Forces Alive – In Oneonta Don’t think for a second that the Amazon debacle we just experienced in New York City isn’t happening right here in our community. This was more than evident at the City of Oneonta State of the City Tuesday, March 5, as reported on www.AllOTESGO.com. What should have been a good evening for the city turned into a complete mess.

Be Failing, But Tom Seaver’s Victories Immortal To the Editor: I read this afternoon about Tom Seaver’s health. My favorite Seaver memory (and my favorite New York Mets memory of all … and I was at Game 6!) was going to a July game at Shea in 1969. It was a big family deal. We got new shirts, new socks.

County Reps. Ed Frazier, R-Unadilla, and Kathy Clark, R-Otego, who had questioned it last time, when it was referred to the Solid Waste & Environmental Concerns Committee (SWECC) for further study, opposed it again. But the board’s vice…
IF FUNDED, IT WON’T WORK Where’s $93 Trillion Coming From To Pay Bill For A Green New Deal? I was struck by a news clip showing Elizabeth Warren speaking to a crowd and telling them we need to remove the control over our lives from government and put it back into the hands of the people.
