Who Is Left Behind?
     Dear Editor, I have questions for your regarding last week’s front cover story in reference to Michael Finnegan. Why did you feel it necessary to run a scandalous front cover story about a man who has since relocated to another state?

No Pickup Of Recyclables On Holidays
     Dear Editor, I live on Beach 149 Street in Neponsit and this morning, Tuesday, January 19 at about 9:15, I took a walk after leaving my grandson Nicholas off at the West End Temple.

Municipal Lot Fiasco
     Dear Editor, As a business owner on Beach 116 Street I feel compelled to comment on the city’s actions regarding the new parking situation.

Growth, Now?
     Dear Editor, After 16 years of schooling and 50 years of watching TV, my mind seems to think and work in 50 minute segments. Regardless of how I’ve been programmed, though, it’s not how life nor the world work.
