Letters to the Editor

In a recent letter entitled “In His Own Words,” Louella LeClair questioned the use of truthful statements made by a friend of mine and your current Oswego County Legislator. LeClair claims to have lowered taxes every year she was in office. Really! Fact is at the start of her tenure the county taxes to a resident in the city of Fulton were 3.44 per thousand…at the end of her tenure that rate was 7.56 per thousand.

I’d like to commend Legislator Shane Broadwell, Legislator Stephen Walpole and Oswego Councilor Billy Barlow for taking the initiative to open dialogue between the city and the Oswego County Highway Department by meeting with the county superintendent in regard to paving our city streets.

Mayor Ronald Woodward is successfully leading Fulton through some of Her darkest days.

Norman “Jay” Foster deserves your vote for Fulton 5th Ward Councilor. He continues to clean up our 5th Ward.

I support Michael McAndrew for Oswego County District Attorney. I need a tough District Attorney that will remove the worst criminal offenders from our streets.

I would like to take the time to express to all my Fulton friends and neighbors what a privilege it has been to serve as your mayor over the last two terms. This year is an election year and I am asking for your support to be re-elected as your mayor.

Amy Tresidder is a leader. An intelligent, mature, experienced leader. Amy Tresidder is the type of leader Oswego needs right now. Decisive and wise, with a plan to improve The city of Oswego now.

“I saved the taxpayer”…. “I work for you”…. “I voted no on non value spending.”…. “It’s not my money.” Really? The current (25th District) legislator voted for a sidewalk to nowhere which would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. (His own party voted against it).
