Dear Mrs. Ewing, I fully understand what you're saying but I don't think you can use terms like "undesireables". I believe they're "undocumented residents" and "independent contractors" whose income is generated by engaging in "alternative entrepreneurial efforts". Obviously SOMEBODY desires them because they proliferate in Newburgh and become very successful here. Our own mayor acknowledges them and has gone to press admitting that he's very much aware of their presence. Not to mention the great ones who came into Newburgh claiming they love it here, call it home and do nothing to counter the invasion and victory while contributing to the bad mouthing of our police and firefighters.

We old timers haven't been suffocated. We seem to be suffocating ourselves for the most part. A few (mostly the few here) are fighting individually. It's a good foundation. But we need more. And all it takes is the first step, one foot in front of the other. Speak up. Even here. I'm willing to bet there are more eyes on this board than there are voices. And unlike the other board there aren't a lot if pointing fingers. We seem to make constructive suggestions and recommendations. Why? Because WE are NEWBURGHERS!
