I am once again writing to complain about the Harriman Utility Board late-fee policy. 

This month, my bill was due on Thursday, Sept. 25. 

At 10 a.m. on Friday, I was standing in the lobby with cash money to pay my bill. I asked to speak with someone who could take off the late fee. 

She informed me that she could not take the $13 off my bill because I was late last month. 

On Aug. 12 at 2 a.m., officers Mitch Grigsby and Alex French, along with a Roane Ambulance team of Greg Dyer, Roger Davis, Beverly Lynn, T. Eblen and C. Weddington, were dispatched to the Stout family residence in Midtown.

When they got there, our mother was not breathing and had no pulse.

Thanks to their fast response, CPR and using cardiac-arrest paddles, they were able to revive her and keep her stable until they got to Parkwest Medical Center.

The case for school funding was said very powerfully by Junior Commissioner Hendrickson’s statement, “My constituents have spoken, and they don’t want NO new taxes...”

Exactly why they are needed.

A Kingston resident recently expressed an opinion in your paper that essentially denied the existence of global warming.

It was hard for him to believe that 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide could cause global warming.

He also cherry-picked a few statements, one from a member of the British government.

What a joke!

I read an article today by Paul B. Farrell of MarketWatch that provided evidence as to why climate-science deniers have zero credibility.
