Letter: Support RYAN House
“Saugerties has been struck with a high rate of drug addiction cases. We all know someone who’s battling addiction or has been lost to addiction. Saugerties can only benefit from a place in our backyard where those who are battling their addictions can go to get help. I am, and will continue to be, a wholehearted supporter and advocate for the RYAN House. I urge anyone with skepticism to reach out and ask the principal who are behind this great project any questions you may have,” writes Town of Saugerties Councilman Michael Ivino.

Letter: Our bodies, our best choice
“Living in a healthy society necessitates laws and regulations that can restrict some personal freedoms.

Letter: In support of Good-Cause eviction
“I am a former New Paltz tenant. I have rented apartments as an undergraduate student at SUNY New Paltz and later in life as a working professional. I have called New Paltz my home for the better part of a decade. In 2018, I left the Village to pursue an advanced degree. Now, as I attempt to make my way back, I am finding myself in the middle of a housing and affordability crisis,” writes Victoria Morrell of Queens.
Letter: Opposed to Good-Cause eviction
“Leases have been used successfully for centuries between two consenting parties. Leases are by definition ‘a contract by which one party conveys land, property, services et cetera to another for a specified time, usually in return for a periodic payment.’ At no point should a month-to-month lease or a yearly lease become a ‘lease for life.’ After the lease expires, either party has the mutual right to continue or not continue,” writes Paul Knobloch of New Paltz.
