Letters to the Editor: Strategy Needed for DC 37 To the Editor: In the past weeks I have been talking to a large number of union members about what is the best course of action to secure a better contract between District Council 37 and the City of New York. Many believe that we should stand firm and weather the economic downturn, allowing our... More ...

My concern is how the Fire Department just appointed a Deputy Commissioner of Technology and Support Services from a totally unrelated agency (the Administration for Children's Services). You would think that a background in fire science and... More ... Give 'em Hell, 'Bama To the Editor: Why are people, especially Bush supporters, so surprised at how Barack Obama has captured the attention and respect of so many people, especially young voters?
