To whom it may concern,
Good morning. As a person who goes to the newsstand to buy your newspaper on a regular basis, I'm starting to wonder a bit about your coverage. Now, maybe it's because of one thing or another, but Mr. Lamendola's coverage at some points is OK, while at other points is very lackluster.
In today's newspaper, on the front page, we have the article regarding Mr. Paul Tonko's success in running for Congress, beating out Republican candidate Mr. James Buhrmaster. Now, the part that I find interesting on this is that this article not only states that Mr. Tonko has won the election, but gives specifics as to the amount that he won by, specifically, a vote of 44,814 to 29,218. This is very good that we can get answers to such big questions such as this so quickly.
The part that is quite concerning is that the same reporter, Mr. Lamendola, can't even sit in a room where a vote is being taken between less than 20 people to get us an actual vote? I go back to the vote by the Schenectady County Legislature, who recently voted in another tax increase on the residents of Schenectady County, trying to get Schenectady back into the top 10 taxed counties in the nation. We only slipped out of this "honor" as some of the localities in the area have recently re-evaluated property values.
I don't know Mr. Lamendola's reason for falling short on this, but for the newspaper that is "The locally owned voice of the Capital Region," as well as the official newspaper of many (if not all) the localities throughout Schenectady County, you would think that you would be able to get the full vote on a story that affects so many of the people who are subscribed to and/or buy your publication at the newsstand daily.
If Mr. Lamendola can't do the job, would you please find someone that will?
Thanks,
Kevin March
