Assemblyman offers congratulations to Herald editor

To the Editor:

I recently read in –– where else? –– the Merrick and Bellmore Heralds that Senior Editor Scott Brinton took home first place for Best Column in the New York Press Association’s annual clips contest, as well as third place for column writing in the Local Media Association’s clips competition. I would like to offer my congratulations for these prestigious honors.

As I have said in the past, these awards underscore the obvious –– that Brinton’s writing is exemplary and his insight into many subjects is uncanny. He should be very proud to be recognized with these honors.

David McDonough

New York state assemblyman,

19th District
