Georgia on GOP’s mind

 To the editor: In the wake of no-red-wave elections, Senator Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas, said that it is very important that the Republicans help Hershel Walker win the Senate seat in Georgia in the runoff against Senator Rafael Warnock.

It’s not Reaganomics

To the editor: An unpopular president sitting at 44 percent approval at the end of his second year in office.  Stubbornly high inflation around 8 percent. A country mired in a recession.

Challenge Adams

To the editor:  Mayor Eric Adams' actions repeatedly have me hoping someone will challenge him in the 2025 Democratic mayoral primary. Let's start with the assertion by Adams' Labor Relations Relations Commissioner Renee Campion

The context of no context

To the Editor: Roger Thornhill, the character played by Cary Grant in “North by Northwest,” defends his profession. “Advertisers don’t lie, they use expedient exaggeration," he says.

GOP's angry agenda

A betrayal

To the editor: New York City retirees have been betrayed by the current and former NYC Mayors and the MLC.

Contract is no bargain

A fuller truth on Medicare

To the editor: In a recent communique to active and retired members of District Council 37, Executive Director Henry Garrido asked that members contact their City Council Members to tell them that they are in favor of amending the NYC Administrative Code 12-126.

A sick idea

To the editor: Mayor Eric Adams, the Office of Labor Relations and the complicit Municipal Labor Committee (MLC) want city employees and retirees to think that a Medicare Advantage plan is a win-win for all.

Consider the alternatives

To the editor: Both DC37 and the UFT are urging their members to contact the City Council to amend Section 12-126 of the Administrative Code. The proposed amendment, which does not yet have a sponsor, would weaken health insurance protections for both municipal retirees and in-service employees. 

Hochul failing us

To the editor: A bumper sticker has this saying: "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."    Here in 2022 we have a governor and a legislature with a super-majority that needs to be changed. WalletHub in March 2022 identified New York State as having the "highest tax burden" based on property, income, sales and excise taxes as a share of total personal income.  

An admonishment

To the editor: In the article "UFT begins bargaining for new contract” (The Chief, Oct. 21), the paragraph “There are also concerns that increased health care costs, which have drained the Health Insurance Premium Stabilization Fund, could interfere with the city's ability to provide substantial raises" is not totally correct. 

Unions need accountability

To the editor: In September, The Chief ran a story about the Transit Workers Union opposing a bill that would ban horse carriages. Most recently, I see that many unions are siding with Mayor Eric Adams trying to get the City Council to force city retirees into a retirement plan that they don’t want. 

Carriage life is no horseplay

The ills of Medicare Advantage

To the editor: A page one blockbuster article in the Oct. 8 issue of The New York Times should be a wakeup call for all active and retired city workers.  The article examines how multiple health …

Take out Putin

To the editor:  In response to Vladimir Putin’s threats to use tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine, President Joe Biden said that could lead to Armageddon. The definition of …

The bad old days

Spend wisely

Criminal behavior
