Arrested development

To the editor: The most important question for the NYPD is who will be the next commissioner. Mayor Eric Adams lost an excellent police commissioner in Keechant Sewell. It was his own fault. Adams is …

Not a pretty sight

I was one of the more than 200 NYC public service retirees who testified at the Jan. 9 City Council hearing on a possible amendment to the municipal code.  The Council thankfully did not alter …

Spliffs and stones

Sowing fiscal chaos

To the editor: Michael Gorman's " Women and the GOP " (The Chief, May 5) is quite good except for his criticism of women who would not support Hillary Clinton. They should have supported the Green …
