Letters to the Editor

We are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and voting issues are probably the last thing on peoples’ minds.  However, since the Supreme Court’s recent Michigan decision to not extend time for primary mail-in ballots and other efforts to curb voting, our right to vote is being seriously jeopardized.  How citizens elect to be governed in the coming elections is also in jeopardy with voter suppression.  Voting is the core of a democracy, yet so many forget what democracy means.

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to the first responders, nurses, doctors and all those currently working in the medical field as we battle the coronavirus together.

On April 9th there is a proposed Public Hearing on Local Law #1 of 2020. Whether or not it will take place is not known at the time of this writing.
