Letter to the Editor: In Support of Joe Carvin

County Legislator David Gelfarb supports Carvin.

Dear Editor,

I write to urge my fellow Republicans to vote in upcoming GOP primary on June 26th for my friend Joe Carvin as our candidate for Congress in the newly-drawn 17th Congressional District. Joe has served with great distinction as our Town Supervisor since January 2008, lowering taxes year after year, bringing a sense of honor and dignity to office and providing essential services while reducing spending during his term. Joe also has vast private sector experience in the commercial banking and hedge fund industries, which will be very useful in serving as a Congressman during an era of huge budget deficits. He has governed in a non-partisan fashion, looking for common sense solutions instead of partisan wrangling. Joe has established two successful charities, One World United and Virtuous and Building Community Bridges, both of which have done great work in bringing diverse groups of people together to work toward community betterment. Lastly, Joe has lived and worked all over the world and is fluent in five languages, which will enable him to bring a real understanding of the economic challenges our nation faces in this era of globalization. I can think of nobody more qualified to serve as our Congressperson and strongly urge you to support him on June 26th.

Very truly yours,

David Gelfarb
Rye Brook

County Legislator, 6th Legislative District (R-Port Chester, Rye Brook, Harrison)

Well MJ, of course you would be against a business being allowed to decide not to lose a substantialRead More amount of money because of a liberal social program. No surprise there. I don't speak or write for anybody, but Dwight Douglas is very respected and had been for many years. He resigned over the mess and for being betrayed. The rest of the board are useless. If they weren't so partisan they would have resigned too. As for the forensic audit, at least we agree on something. When Frank wins I hope he does one right away. Lots of money disappearing over the last 6 years, especially a huge fund balance that is now all gone.

Peter Goodson I disagree it was initiated by the HVHC and they are stupid to think a loss of 200K aRead More year is enough cause for me or the rest of the community to believe a closure is necessary. Federspiel thinks Peekskill is bias, better check again we are pretty damn wise. The powers at be could have made a move and didn't. Greg Ball could have raised that money with one event. He is always in the media for his fundraiser at HVHC. This is an absolute mess. Mary Foster has always responded to my e-mails and always claimed she was in opposition. I have emailed her twice in the past 24 hours with no response. You can run Mary but you can't hide!

That's exactly right. It was a business decision that your Republican buddies supported whole-hogRead More with their sneaky silence. The real issue is that your Republican buddies are as dirty as the day is long and they're of the same mold as this lousy administration. Check out my first post. You political blowhards don't give a rat's whisker about the taxpayers in this city. Seems Frank can't even get his allegiance straight. He's defending a "highly respected" Planning Board. Interesting choice of words. By his own admission, he's defending those "100% Dems." Forensic Audit all the way. And take it back to the last 10 years. Mr. Goodson, stick to writing Uncle Vinnie's press releases.

Rose, why is it that you would call me a name? Why not have a productive debate about the issueRead More instead of name call? I'm sure the anti-gun lobby does not like those numbers- but they are the facts. I know it flies in the face of all of the propaganda- millions of gun purchases and gun crime goes down? This is what we've been saying all along. Leave my natural rights as affirmed by the Constitution alone.

Go away, you Troll.

Plenty of laws on the books- they are obviously working ok, and would probably work even better ifRead More vigorously enforced.
Teleman May 15, 2013 at 04:11 pm
I stand by my statement- until these contracts are fully re-negotiated and the unions startRead More contributing to their benefits and taking zero % or minimal raises, the taxes will continue to increase year after year- Buchanan will no longer be the so-called "bargain" some claim it is.

Hey Fly, before you make comments, you should check the facts. The contracts are alive and well.Read More Mr. Donahue should try learning to read and checking the facts before sending his brilliant letters to the editor in for publishing. They are almost always entirely fictional....but perhaps he really believes what he says. Yeah, right. He intentionally makes up stories to sucker people like you into believing his nonsense.

All of those lucrative 2% contract raises have since expired! DUH. Unlike the 15% raises yourRead More glorious mayor has doled out with great regularity.
