Mr. Bray, Read an article the other day about you and beavers. I thought that your idea of letting the beavers win and thus flooding the roadway was a stupid idea? Have you got anymore bright ideas? If you do, you should certainly keep them to yourself. There is an old saying , "it is better to be thought a fool than opening your mouth and proving it ". I do certainly hope you don't get elected, we will be all riding in horse and wagon with your ideas. (wink) View Comment

Truth, where have you been for the last 20 years? Susan Siegel has been fighting for the "unsewered" for at least that long . For all her efforts, nothing has been done. I don't blame her. She is a fighter . Do you have an suggestions on getting those with septic's, sewers? View Comment

@ danigirl:, I am willing to bet that you graduated with a BS in social studies, right? Maybe you should have thought about what profession you were going into. When I graduate will there be a job for me that will meet my financial expectations or will it be a "feel good' job"? Over the years I have seen our youth taking the easy way in college. No one wants to put in the effort anymore. What happened to those who took those hard subjects like engineering &medicine? Now it is advanced basket weaving. How many college students that into there 2nd or 3d year have NOT declared a major? http://salary.com/8-college-degrees-with-the-worst-return-on-investment/ I like this one because I was in the business. My son/daughter has a "communications degree" can you get them a job where you work? With that degree there are plenty of intern jobs! You know what internes are paid , don't you? Our colleges are turning out people who are not qualified to drive a fork lift. The very sad part about it is they are charging us top dollar for the privilege of going there. Colleges are over priced. When will people say enough is enough? View Comment

This is what happens when you partner up with the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. It is akin to being partners with a criminal mob. You get something but there are strings attached. Remember the movie the God Father? Well the government has called in its favor. We will now have to pay the piper. Thanks Mr Spano. View Comment

I want to know why there should be a "quotas"? When will racial quotas be finished? Will they be with us forever? The question should be is reverse discrimination acceptable? View Comment

@ John J Bigelow, [ Affordable grocery stores? ] That is already here, FOOD STAMPS!!! View Comment

You want to be beholding to the FEDERAL government, then take the money. . That is what got us in trouble in the first place under Spano, wasn't it? The federal government is like the mob, you owe them and down the road , you know they will collect. View Comment

@linda.g.simpson.5:, Just where to all these naive people come from? Do you see what is happening in the world or are you too busy watching "dancing with the Stars" or "ET Tonight" ? We are in a war, just in case you haven't read the papers or watched the "news". Nice guys finish last, or in some cases DEAD !! We should use any means necessary to stop these radical Muslim terrorists. Let me tell you they couldn't give a rats tuches about blowing you up or cutting you to pieces. View Comment

SugarMag55:, you certainly are very naive aren't you. When they think they are going to die, they do tell you things. Maybe some are not true but maybe some are. You will never know if they don't say anything, will you? View Comment

The question was worded that way to get the needed response that the writer wanted. It is a simple as that!!! looks like even the Daily Voice is now slanted to the left, but why should that surprise anyone? The colleges that turn out these numscull "reporters" are to blame. Journalism school is a joke. What ever happened to the 5 W's? Just look at their writing skills. Thank god for spell check or you would not be able to understand much of what they write.

Obviously lynn.somerstein:, he wasn't charged with driving under the influence. For your information people that smoke maryjane usually aren't the ones speeding. That had been my experience when I was a police officer back in the day. . View Comment

I just wonder with the people writing negative things here, how many have broken the law and have NOT been caught. He who is with out sin shall cast the first stone. That sound a familiar? View Comment

The answer to your post "I wonder what the fine would have been if this had been a first offense by a young adult in our community. Would he/she been given a mere slap on the hand or made an example of ?" is YES. Was he charged with driving while under the influence? No. Did he get special treatment because he was a legislator, I don't think so. There are people in a Albany, such as Sheldon Silver, that have done things that are 100 times worse, and HE still has not only his job but still remains the speaker. So if you want to vent, how about going after the CORRUPTION in Albany. View Comment

What ever happened to ZERO growth. That is what WE have to live with, you should also!!! Shame on you. View Comment

This is really a great thing. Our country is so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to graduating engineers. I do hope it spurs on the growth of engineers. There should be NO reason that we have to "import" engineers. We have plenty of bright young people living in this country already. There is a major problem with our education system. When we rank 18th overall and 27th in engineering , there has to be a change made. We also spend the most money on education, so it doesn't seem to be the problem, does it? So I tip my hat to 10th annual Lower Hudson Valley Engineering EXPO for their inspiring work. I do hope it does spur some interest in engineering. View Comment

Ask one of those landlords if they ever have had to evict a section 8 tenant for any reason. It ain't pretty. Once the government gets its tentacles into to you, it is all over. View Comment

Really, third degree criminal mischief ? She probably bought the X box console. View Comment

I like this one "If something doesn’t look right, they are encouraged to give us a call and we will check them out to the best of our ability.” . Really. Folks, the police can't be everywhere. You want to be safe, do something about it yourself. You and only you are the first line of defense. You are the "first responder" in this case. View Comment

The issuance of speeding tickets is for REVENUE only. I doubt that the stats prove that "speeding" actually creates more accidents than any other form of STUPIDLY". It has been proven that the change of speed limits along a road way causes them. The only thing that speed does, is it increase the severity of any resulting accident. It is basically a law of physics . So when they are saying giving out these speeding tickets are saving lives, don't believe it. What we need is stricter driving tests. The old joke used to be "they are giving drivers licenses away at Sears". The way I have seen some people driving, I think that it might be true only Walmart is now the place to go. View Comment
