The Daily Sentinel invites readers to submit Letters to the Editor with their views and comments, criticisms, and/or questions about local, state and world issues.

Letters to the Editor are a vital link in the public dialogue — whether about decision of a local planning or zoning board or of regional and national politics — and we encourage readers to share these thoughts with us and our neighbors.

Letter writers must be residents of the region, work in the region or have another tie to Central New York and the Mohawk Valley.

The editor reserves the right to edit or condense all letters, which must be signed. Unsigned letters will not be considered for publication.

Letters can be up to 300 words and must include name, hometown and a contact phone number for verification. Address and phone numbers are not printed, however the writer’s city, town or village is included.
