Tag: Letters to the Editor

To the editor:
In regard to Mr. Goodkind’s letter in the April 28 BroadsheetDAILY that suggests BPC should become part of New York City:With corruption appearing to ooze out in many directions from the Mayor’s office, why would anyone want to place Battery Park City under the city’s control?

A far better solution would be to increase local representation on the BPCA board; given all the neighborhood concern, it seems probable that this will eventually happen.

Ironically, Mr. Goodkind’s letter appears directly below the Broadsheet article which discusses downtown construction and includes this quote, “Seven weeks ago, four elected officials  representing Lower Manhattan wrote to City Hall for…oversight of construction in Lower Manhattan. They have yet to receive the courtesy of a reply”.

Why in the world would we want to subject our community to the unresponsiveness or worseof City Hall?

On a recent morning there was one guard on Battery Place as in the attached photo and another standing in front of 2nd Place....

Freedom of Speech

To the editor: I simply could not let the letter from the person who signed their letter as “Craig S.” go unanswered. Ms. Glick represents the MAJORITY of the people in her district in terms of her views on family planning issues, and when you’re in the minority, you have to just deal with that....

Freedom of Speech

To the editor, I find Jerrold Nadler’s actions so offensive! How many times have other congressmen and senators felt like Nadler. How many have objected to the newly elected president and how many have refused to attend the elected president’s inauguration? Nadler is not worthy of being our congressman and should step down. I just...

Ms. Glick and Mr. Trump

To the editor: We are blessed to live in a country where pro-life views are respected and honored by our politicians, and our media. I fully expect that the March for Life in Washington D.C will get as much attention and respect as the Women’s March did (which prohibited pro-life groups from participating). Not! Ms....
