Dear Editor,
I would hope you will print this open letter to the sportsmen's, hunters, and gun owners who reside in the Town of Taghkanic. I have been hearing rumors, and whispers that Joyce Thompson and Martha Meier, who are running for the town council, are out to stop hunting and shooting in Taghkanic. I would like to caution all of my fellow and lady gun owners that this is just cheap town gossip being spread by supporters of Skoda and Sammons to sway your vote. I ask you all to look at Skoda’s voting record on guns.
The fact is that when I wanted to renew my federal firearms license which I had for twelve years Richard Skoda, acting as the Zoning chairman and James Romaine the secretary of the West Taghkanic Gun Club, also on the Zoning Board, voted against it saying it was a retail store, in spit of the fact that it was not. This license was used to help the residents of Taghkanic make legal and responsible gun trades and at no cost to them. It allowed residents to go on-line and purchase a firearm from out of state and have sent to my home where the appropriate legal checks were done. This assured the public that buyer and the seller were not a convicted felons and that guns were not stolen.
Richard Skoda voted against your rights to be secure when buying or trading guns.
Skoda didn't think his vote through, he relied on someone else to do his thinking for him. His vote was based on vengeance and spite, all because I exposed the shady activities of his cohorts on the Boards. Skoda never once considered the rights of other gun owners or the safety of the people. And keep in mind what Skoda did to one he’ll do to another. So don’t be taken in by the cheap gossip being spread about by simple minded people acting like parrots for a political party.
We the Sportsmen and gun owners can not afford to let someone Richard Skoda be elected as a councilmen in Taghkanic. He’s a man who happens to be a good farmer and as its often said “You should stick too what your good at!” I am a sportsmen, a hunter and avid shooter. My neighbors are Councilwomen Edwards and Mrs. Joyce Thompson and I have not heard a single complaint about my shooting activities. I think most of us would agree that any politician who goes after guns or hunting rights in this county is committing political suicide. This gun enthusiast is voting for Martha Meier and Joyce Thompson.

Republican Fix
The Republicans fix another caucus in Taghkanic.
No doubt that Bill Hilscher was not going to get the nod from the Republican party after voting against the will of Supervisor Young on so many occasions. According to Young "he showed no interest in running again" Of course the story being circulated through town by the Hilscher camp is that he just wanted to give it up. That's great! that tells me we elected a quitter.
There should be no doubt in any ones mind that Hilscher was frighten off, running scared into night. As County employee he put himself up as target to be set-up and fired from his job in the Dept of Corrections, which is controlled by the the Republican party. A loss of his job would mean the loss retirement benefits, medical coverage, and salary. Seems the Republicans have not, nor are they willing, to give into democracy. It seems the are dead set on continuing their rain of terror using taxes and starvation as their weapon of choice against the people. If you think this not true just take a look at the Civil Service lists. See for yourself how people who voice opposition against the Republican party are being keep out of work.
This should be a lesson to all county residents, don't run a hired or appointed county employee on the ballot for any elected office in your town. It will only lead to a disappointment.
Lets see if Councilmen Hilscher jumps back at this article and condemns my statements and then let see if he gets promotion for being an obedient Republican.

Is it fare?
Assessment Time in Old Taghkanic.
Ask yourself is it fare that your property assessments have gone up 70 to 80 % while the Supervisor Betty Young gets away with hiding five acres of her subdivision under Ag. exemption. Is fare that you have been picking up the tab for the 15 acres she as been hiding for all this years? Who paying for her school, county and town taxes? you are!
