Signs are similar, but not viewpoints

Letter appeared in The Journal News Oct. 24, 2007

Imitation is a form of flattery and in Ramapo Supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence's case, he appears to feel threatened. He fairly recently started further cluttering what's left of our landscape with "I Love Ramapo" signs. When I looked closely, I was aghast that his name was on it. His verbiage is very close in nature to Preserve Ramapo and I thought it was Preserve Ramapo's sign (hopefully, so will many others). St. Lawrence must love Ramapo since he is surrounded and protected by open space acreage next to his home.

I'm Jewish, and a registered Democrat. I'm voting St. Lawrence and anyone remotely associated with him out. It is, indeed, time for a change because I love Ramapo and this may be its last chance to survive.
