To the Editor:
I was encouraged by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s recent State of the State address, but there is still much work to be done as the 2012 legislative session begins. While I was pleased to hear the governor address the need to grow jobs and improve New York state’s economy, lawmakers must redouble their efforts to reduce state spending, cut the job-killing red tape that hampers job growth and eliminate the unfunded mandates that threaten to bust the new property-tax cap.

Feeling the meter squeeze
To the Editor:
One has to be amazed at municipalities that still aggressively ticket motorists to generate revenue as East Rockaway does.
It’s a proven failure time and time again as visitors to town decline, business dries up, and people associate the town with aggravation and harassment. If the village of East Rockaway is that keen to squeeze revenue out of visitors by an over-vigilant ticketing policy, it will find out quickly that people will choose to spend their money elsewhere.

On Tuesday, I am voting for Gary Port to be my next supervisor. I am voting for Gary because as a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army, and a family man, he understands the words sacrifice, honor and loyalty. I am not asking for an elected leader to solve my problems, just one to be loyal to me, a resident of this town — not a political party boss.
