“New York needs same sex marriage — now” (May 26-June 1) I couldn’t disagree more, and most likely whoever wrote that editorial is a homosexual or bisexual. However the majority of New Yorkers are still most likely of the Judaic-Christian beliefs, although I realize with both legal and illegal immigration comes also their religious beliefs.

To the Editor:
Regarding Scott Brinton’s column, “Note to Birthers: Let it go” (May 5-11):
The Birthers will not, as Brinton suggests, let it go. Yes, they know the president is as American as they are. They knew that on day one. Regardless, they’ll continue with their campaign against President Obama as long as the media writes and speaks about it.

I’d like to know why Lynbrook resident Bob Barra was appointed and confirmed to be Valley Stream village clerk. This should not be legal. Our mayor and trustees have sent the message that no one in this village is more capable to do the job than a Lynbrook guy best known for bringing coffee to Dean Skelos.

This Hewlett Heights saga should not even be a topic of conversation. I am a resident of Valley Stream. Though I do not live in Gibson myself, I have grown up knowing the area very well and, additionally, have good friends who live there.

Both District 13 and the Central High School District are in need of new superintendents. The new governor has had much to say about Long Island (124 districts) superintendents’ income as compared to his, $179,000 per year. It will be interesting to see if our boards are influenced in the least by his comments and suggestions. The superintendents’ union threaten to all leave the Island if those caps ($175,000 per year) are put in place.
