LETTER from RANDAL I. MOWERS Holleran Wants Oneontans Running Their Own Town To the Editor: As expected of me, I am going to tell it like it is! In my almost three years serving on the Oneonta Town Board, I can assure you that Brett Holleran is by far the right candidate for the job of town board member. Never, ever would he allow outside special-interest groups to enter town hall and take over the meeting! Others have let this…

LETTER from BILL SHUE Scott Harrington Has Roots In Sixth Ward Politics To the Editor: I have known Scott Harrington since he was a boy. Now he is a responsible husband and father. He was raised by two hardworking people, Stan and Mary Jane Harrington. Scott saw first-hand the ideals of true volunteerism and dedication to the task at hand. Unfortunately, Stan, a county representative for Wards 5-6, passed away at a fairly young age. Both he and Mary Jane Harrington gave to…
LETTER from CHIP NORTHRUP Broadband, Renewables, Codes, Pot – Why Not? To the Editor: I was reading your newspaper’s “expose” of the Democrats’ top secret plan to take over the county as if it were satire, until I realized you were serious, that changing party leadership was some kind of threat to the county’s political somnambulance. Of course it’s time for a change! Bring it on. Everything outlined in the McEvoy Memo would be good for the economic health and wellbeing for all…
LETTER from DICK DOWNEY No Natural Gas Upstate? Politics Is The Reason To the Editor: Tom Morgan’s column, “Frack Bust? Or frack Boom?” (10/10/19) cited multiple studies showing the safety and economic benefits of the shale revolution. Naturally, it drew the usual flurry of nay-sayers. Jay Fleisher, Ph.D., worried about shallow Marcellus formations in the Catskills and Northeast Pennsylvania. As a geologist, he should know most Catskill shale is “cooked” and therefore out of play. The well depths of Northeast…

Scott grew up in the Sixth Ward. He knows our history and concerns because he has experienced them first hand. He has that genuine Sixth Ward spirit that can’t be faked. He’s willing to reach across party lines, look for commonsense answers, and most importantly, set…
LETTER from CHIP NORTHRUP Want Franchise Food? Not In Cooperstown; Move To Texas To the Editor: We didn’t move to Cooperstown from Texas to avail ourselves of a Dunkin’ Donut. If we wanted to live in a place with a plethora of fast food restaurants, we could have just stayed in Texas. Lots to choose from, many conveniently located between a gun store (guilty) and a tattoo shop (not guilty). We moved to Cooperstown because it’s a historic village. Keeping…
