Dear Editor, As the Grassroots Coordinator of the Curt Nisly Campaign, I want to debunk a few misconceptions.

Dear Editor: My belief is that there are two competing philosophies about the relationship of people to their government.

Dear Editor, In response to Mr. Fussle’s public comments of June 23, 2014: The unpleasant reality of life, government and economics is that we are all subject to someone else.

Who wants to pay more taxes?! (silence.) Ok, more taxes for everyone! That was last night’s Times Union lead story.

It appears that she …read more.
