During the very last weekend before the election, the Reporter does not run critical letters about candidates in the election.

Dear Editor: The topic I want to discuss is the upcoming mayoral election. I live in low income housing because I am permanently disabled and I thought we live in America where freedom is free and no one can threaten or take away my housing because it is federal funding and no one can say …

During his tenure, Mr. Calcagni’s office has been instrumental in resolving numerous constituent …
