Readers hold forth on an unsolved homicide, extra subways and shifting to Florida – New York Day by day Information

Elmsford, N.Y.: Now that Veron Primus has been convicted of homicide and kidnapping this summer time in St. Vincent, maybe Legal professional Common Letitia James can fulfill her promise to the household and associates of Chanel Petro Nixon and produce her killer again to New York to face justice for her homicide (“Get justice for Chanel,” column, Oct. 3, 2019). Having marched with the household for 15 years, I heard fairly a number of politicians and activists say how they are going to search justice for Chanel. We now have a suspect who was recognized in 2016. We now have waited six years for him to be extradited again to the U.S. to face justice.

Why has her case not been a high precedence, as promised by those self same politicians? I’m positive that if she was from a wealthy household, her story would garner extra consideration and outrage. We had Primus jailed for different crimes, but he slipped by our fingers and was exiled again to his house nation, the place he did the identical crimes that have been executed in opposition to Chanel. Now could be the time to appropriate that injustice and produce him right here in order that there may be closure for Chanel and her household and associates.

I’m positive that James, who can get ahold of Donald Trump’s taxes and chase a cellphone throughout the nation, can spend a number of {dollars} and some hours going to St. Vincent’s and produce again a killer to face his simply punishment. Ernest Brown

Brooklyn: I’m writing in regards to the dumb Texans who hold voting for the Republican Get together and suppose Donald Trump is a god. If he wins in 2024, be careful. He’ll trump up some prices and throw folks in jail identical to Vladimir Putin does in Russia. So watch who you vote for subsequent election. Cease voting for a similar occasion. David S. Glassner

Its electrical car tax credit are particularly tailor-made to permit households of modest means to drive EVs. Help for clear vitality growth will drive down prices for all households, most significantly for lower-income households that spend a disproportionate sum on utilities. Historic investments in home vitality manufacturing and manufacturing deliver union jobs.

Pine Plains, N.Y.: As a toddler rising up in Rego Park, I spent many satisfying hours enjoying in and exploring the defunct Rockaway Seaside Department of the LIRR. I’ll all the time keep in mind the delight I felt after I found the outlet within the fence subsequent to the library the place I might rise up onto the deserted rail mattress. Being well-acquainted with the world’s parks and transit, I can say this proper of manner is a priceless useful resource for increasing mass transit by the neighborhoods of Forest Hills, Glendale, Woodhaven and Ozone Park. Most of those areas are an extended bus experience from the closest subway station. Further park house is all the time good, however there’s the large Forest Park close by, which is among the greatest within the metropolis. To rework the rail line into park house could be of far much less profit to the native communities than growing transit accessibility. Overlook the extraneous park and construct the wanted subway line. Joseph McCluskey

Brooklyn: Crime is a significant issue, with folks shot in broad daylight in public locations, robberies, rapes and assaults all through town. Bail reform and lax courts make it not possible to maintain vicious criminals off the streets. The Supreme Courtroom invalidation of the state’s hid carry legislation ought to have made it straightforward for law-abiding residents like myself who would have the ability to cross the mandatory background verify to get a allow, however due to our governor and mayor, somebody making use of for one should undergo a number of levels to acquire it. At the moment, nobody ought to stroll to get groceries fearing for his or her life or for his or her household. I can solely hope the Supreme Courtroom will overturn town’s manner of handcuffing the power of individuals to guard themselves. Joseph Comperchio

Medford, L.I.: If folks suppose the exodus from New York to Florida — which is an open problem from Gov. Hochul — is dangerous now, simply wait till after the upcoming gubernatorial election. I predict that if New Yorkers recklessly vote for the established order and provides the corrupt Hochul/Cuomo administration one other 4 years of soft-on-crime insurance policies, no fracking and woke nonsense, the stampede out of the Empire State will solely intensify, leaving the unfortunate residents left behind holding the bag. The one factor protecting this state afloat is the $170 billion in federal support it received from the final stimulus invoice. As soon as that’s spent and diverted to Democratic Get together particular pursuits, with a dwindling tax base, New York is toast. Because the middle-class grassroots New York saying goes, “Zeldin ‘22 or we flee in ‘23.” That’s not only a battle cry, that’s an ultimatum. Eugene R. Dunn

A few of us have medicines which might be paid for by Half B, not our drug plan. These medicine are life-saving medicines, reminiscent of for transplant sufferers and, I consider, diabetics. We can not afford to attend for the managed care plan to pay for these as they’re costly and the drug suppliers won’t provide them with out cost. Charles Lavorerio
