LETTER from DAN CROWELL In September, Budget Is Always Out Of Balance; By Year’s End, Balanced To the Editor: I hope all is well in our hometown! I saw your article (“Treasurer Warns Of Overages, But Chair Unruffled,” Sept. 20 on www.All- OTSEGO.com) on the budget gap. For what it is worth, in some ways the county treasurer and county board chair’s perspectives are portrayed as divergent. However, from my experience, they are both right. There is no black magic…

LETTER from R. SCOTT DUNCAN Annual Checkup May Be Matter Of Life, Or Death To the Editor: The phone rang early this morning. It was a call from my doctor’s office.

BOUND VOLUMES Sept. 26, 2019 200 YEARS AGO One of the first duties of a citizen is to use every effort, by precept and example, to encourage industry and shut out want. No matter how splendid your city may be, whether shady walks, cooling fountains, marble edifices, and magnificent palaces, give tokens of opulence and ease – if your streets are crowded with beggars and your paths haunted by mendacity it is a stain on the character of the economy…
Column MONEY TALKS America, Conceived In Slavery? Bunk! By TOM MORGAN • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com And you thought America was “conceived in liberty”? That is what Abraham Lincoln suggested. Well I’m here to tellya that is bunk. This country was conceived in wholesale medical cruelty. And medical malfeasance. So there! Doctors of the 1700s treated illnesses by blood-letting. Got a pain? Slash a vein. Dysentery? Try an artery. Migraines? Let us drill holes in your skull. To allow evil spirits…
COLUMN THE VIEW FROM WEST DAVENPORT Poverty? Don’t Blame The Rich, But Ourselves Talk about getting things backwards and exposing your political bias at the same time, while totally ignoring the facts – and you’ve identified Oneonta’s mayor, as reflected in a column he writes elsewhere. We have poverty because of folks like him who deny reality when it comes to renewables vs. fossil fuels, who even fight renewables like solar and who do everything they can to keep industry…
