Letter To The Editor: Joan Carbonaro Won't Debate Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail northwestdutchess@dailyvoice.com.

Letter To The Editor: My Stance On Immigration Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail cortlandt@dailyvoice.com. In response to Mr. Forbes’s letter, two entire paragraphs under Overcrowding/Immigration Reform, there since Day 1, were left out of EVEN Ms. Greece’s SECOND letter. She herself admits she left out 13 words from the one paragraph she quoted…it changes the entire meaning, so yes, I was misquoted. What she did quote, those exact words are still there. The content is exactly the same with the addition, not subtraction of words that don't change the meaning in any way…

Letter To The Editor: New York Bar Association Should Not Support ConCon Daily Voice accepts signed and original letters to the editor up to 350 words. To send a letter, e-mail greenburgh@dailyvoice.com. I have informed the New York State Bar Association that I am not renewing the membership I have maintained for 25 years because of their very partisan position on the constitutional convention referendum. Prior to October, 2017 they had presented both sides of the debate in a non-biased manner. I never expected the NYSBA to come out in favor of Constitutional Convention Vote. I thought they were a professional association and not a political arm of those who wou…
