from GREG CATLIN WSKG Listened To Patrons, Brought Back Classical Music To the Editor: Here at WSKG, we value your patience as we transitioned our radio stations in February. Since the switch we have heard from many of you about your listening preferences and desires. When we made the programming switch, 105.9 in Cooperstown remained WSKG News programming, with the understanding that was not necessarily a final decision. WSKG’s 91.7 FM, Oneonta, changed from classical music to an all-talk format.…

from TOPHER HAMMOND Trust In ‘Intelligence Community’ Ill-Founded To the Editor: Last week in your newspaper, I read with concern the interview with Otsego County Democratic chair Aimee Swan about the end of Robert Mueller’s two-year witch-hunt regarding alleged “Russian interference” in the 2016 election. Ms. Swan stated that “there should be a trust, a loyalty to our intelligence community.” The so-called “intelligence community” was behind the ridiculous allegations that Russia was the cause of Hillary Clinton’s resounding defeat in…
from MICHAEL STEIN President In Clear, But Allies Spouted Documented Lies To the Editor: I feel obligated to respond to just a few pearls of wisdom promulgated by Otsego County Republican Chairperson Vince Casale in his recent column, “Was Justice Achieved?” Does anyone else see the irony of Mr. Casale decrying the horrors of “gotcha politics” while simultaneously extolling the virtues of Roger Stone, his dapper prom date at the most recent Otsego County Republican dinner? Stone is after all,…
from Paul Lord At Fly Creek ‘Phil,’ Youth, Beauty, Strength Evident To the Editor: As a deaf guy, I don’t attend many musical performances. They are largely exercises in frustration for me. Before my hearing loss, I appreciated music, and I still appreciate memories of music, but the reality is that the notes don’t resonate when you are missing enough frequencies. I attended last night’s performance to acknowledge the support provided by the Fly Creek Philharmonic for the Otsego Lake…
from Danny Lapin RSS Housing Project Not Right For Oneonta To the Editor: The proposed housing project by Rehabilitation Support Services (RSS) of Altamont in Oneonta’s Sixth Ward is a flawed development. RSS wants taxpayers to pay for it; they trying to circumvent public input and they’re using strong-arm tactics to get approval to start construction. Therefore, I oppose it. RSS wants to build a 64-unit project for low- and moderate-income people that will include 14 apartments reserved for individuals…
HENRICI: Marietta Brings Wisdom, Humor To the Editor, I am a political person who generally keeps her opinions to herself. However, I don’t think I betray that persuasion in the least by endorsing Andrew Marietta for county rep – he is someone we can all stand behind with pride. When I moved to Cooperstown nearly eight years ago, I began reaching out to anybody who was willing to listen, hoping to make connections and build a life here. All roads…
WILBER: Walker Disciplined, Experienced To the Editor: I must take issue with your assertion that County Government does not work very well. You are at every board meeting, yet you still make this assertion. I can only assume that you are perhaps asleep in the back of the room. The list of accomplishments would put me over your word limit. This is also great news that Andrew Marietta has determined the committee system does not work. Perhaps he should share…

LETTER TO ALLOTSEGO.COM EDITOR Fellow Town District Residents Say: Sign The Fire Contract With City Now Editor’s Note: Here is a Letter to the Editor of www.AllOTSEGO.com from Carol Malz, who was elected to the Town of Oneonta Fire District #1 board of commissioners on Dec. 8.
