Michael Bass, candidate for district attorney: What have you done and what interest have you had for Cayuga County for the last four years? You moved to the Albany area.

Vietnam veterans, let's show some support for the new memorial park being built in downtown Auburn. It's for all veterans in Cayuga County.

I read the Two Cent column every day and rarely find anyone saying anything congratulatory to Murray Lynch. Murray, I applaud you for every letter you have written because you have yet to write a letter that hasn't been articulate, informative, factual and ringing with the truth.

Sales tax on a gallon of gas is roughly 25 cents; so on a 30-gallon tankful, you're paying out $7.50 sales tax. Where in God's name is all this money going -- the county has become a sham.

Part-time Cayuga County legislators get full health coverage including dental care. And on top of that, they do not pay one dime.

How about the Cayuga County legislators getting full health care including dental coverage. Where do you find that?

Why did the police even bother arresting Cordes. He's one of those rich Skaneateles brats that'll get a walk anyhow.

To all you “I support the troops” politicians: How many of your hundreds of thousands of dollars have you spent sending cooling scarves to those troops?

How about turning Fingerlakes Mall into a casino? It would be better than what's there now!

They wonder why the young people are leaving Auburn. They just get something going for the young people and they cancel it out, I think it's a shame.

I thought the new city manager wanted to beautify the city. Well, maybe he should start by getting the trash picked up along the streets.

Police Chief Gianotta should stop the fireworks at the lake so he won't overwork his officers the way they were overworked at Music on the Mall.

What happens if a person works the hours the post office is open; how are we supposed to get our mail if we have to go pick it up? Why not close all the government offices to save money?

Must be that the tattoo and body piercing business in Auburn is really booming, we seem to be getting more of these places in Auburn all the time. I think these places ought to require a license. I don't know if they do or not, but it would be nice to know.

I was really surprised to see it in print, that people didn't think John Chick was honest. It surprised many people.

John Chick has been pardoned. they just want to look busy for now so they're playing games.

Every time the town of Fleming has a proposal for new development, they want to revise their zoning laws - I wonder if anyone will ever get to use these new laws? Will the town have these new zoning laws in effect before all the lawsuits are settled; property owners should be able to develop their property without harassment or prejudice.

Maybe Carole Estabrook and Lisa Backus should get together and solve that Julie Monson murder, or any other one of the many unsolved murders that have gone on in Cayuga County over the years - you know, the ones with all the rumors attached to them. Maybe then what they have to say would hold more relevancy and hold my interest more than 3 seconds.

Mr. Hotaling, you have the money for a lake steward so put him or her to work. The summer is half over.

I'd like to know when they're gonna tear that red brick building down on the corner of James and Orchard Street, or are they going to renovate it? That really is an eyesore, sitting there like that with the windows boarded up and grass growing up.

President Eisenhower said that it would be a mistake for America to get involved in a land war in Asia, but he committed advisors only to Vietnam. Perhaps I didn't make it clear that Kennedy was the first to order Americans into combat, which Eisenhower adamantly refused to do - I don't need a history book, I'm old enough to remember.

I've purchased my last flowers from a local greenhouse. The planting season has ended and they still are charging full price.
