Election Day: Time for decisions

Brooklyn: Great editorial on our corrupt mayor (“Our verdict on de Blasio,” Nov. 5). I often see his pompous self strutting through the streets of Park Slope. He is more than happy to engage supporters in conversation but, when approached by someone who disagrees with his corruptness, he quickly walks away and has his security detail tell you firmly that he is not taking questions.

The pathetic reality is that he will be our mayor once again. Not because he has proven himself to be a wonderful mayor but because he is running against that buffoon Bo Dietl and an inexperienced Nicole Malliotakis.

The funny thing is that de Blasio is not really running for mayor. He is just starting an early campaign to run for President of the United States. This has been his goal for quite some time. Jamie C. Connor

Calling it straight

Brooklyn: Cheers to the Daily News for having the guts not to endorse Bill de Blasio. No matter how successful de Blasio has been as mayor (and that is debatable), we simply cannot reelect a man whose corruption and coverups bring embarrassment and ridicule to New York City. New Yorkers deserve better. And I say this as someone who actually volunteered to help in his campaign!

Joe Ferra

No choice at all

Bayside: You spend nearly the entire editorial page blasting de Blasio, refuse to endorse him for mayor, and then say his two most well-known opponents are worse. You have done exactly what you accuse de Blasio of doing — you identified a problem without offering any solutions. Even worse, you are influencing people to pick one of those worse options. You don’t even mention Sal Albanese, who is actually a progressive of the kind that The News is always longing for. I’m still voting for de Blasio because I don’t want to risk a Trump backer becoming mayor. If you couldn’t back him, the least you could have done was offer a sensible alternative. Rodney Rigoli

Our own fault

Kew Gardens: Almost every day there’s a letter or two from people who are not happy with the mayor’s handling of the city. However, he will probably be reelected because those same people probably won’t vote. Get out and vote! If he gets reelected, we have no one to blame but ourselves! Jack D’Orio

She’s for Bo

Manhattan: I’ve had the pleasure of volunteering for Bo Dietl over the past few months and I couldn’t be prouder to say that there is no better person to stand up for the women of this city than this compassionate father and grandfather. Closing the gender pay gap once and for all and cracking down on the increase in subway sex crimes are just a few ways that Bo wants to stand up for women. Nov. 7 will be the day we can finally begin to clean up our city. As a mother of three, I know what it’s like to clean up after people, which is why I think Bo has what it takes to sweep up the mess this mayor has made of City Hall. Please join me in electing a respectable and honorable person to take the reins and bring New York back to what it should be. Dorian Noonan

Him, too

Howard Beach: Bo Dietl is a real New Yorker who will put an end to the culture of corruption at City Hall. He’s not beholden to the party bosses or the special interests. That is why I am voting for Bo on Election Day. Now more than ever, our city needs a leader who can create jobs, balance the budget and keep our city safe. Bo is my friend and I believe he has what it takes to be a great mayor.

City Councilman Eric Ulrich

It’s that time of year

Bellerose: Take pictures of your elected officials. This is the last time you will see them until next November, before election time, promising the same things they did last year! John van Acken

She’s for Nicole

Bronx: Michelle Obama has said that any woman voting for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton was voting against her own voice. Therefore, any woman voting for de Blasio over Nicole Malliotakis would be voting against her own voice. I don’t know why anyone would vote for de Blasio, but women, particularly, would have a good reason not to. We have a chance to vote in the first female mayor of New York. How about it, ladies?

Anita Mulé

So is he

Glen Oaks Village: Mayor de Blasio is still being haunted again by the pay-to-play accusations. If these accusations prove true, de Blasio should step down. The mayor we need is Nicole Malliotakis, who I believe is a true superhero who is willing to fight for what is right for all the residents of this great city. So when you vote on Tuesday, think who is best to serve our city and has our best interests at heart and willing to serve, we the people!

Frederick R. Bedell Jr.

Man for women for Nicole

Valley Stream, L.I.: C’mon, women of the city, show up and support Nicole Malliotakis for mayor. This is your chance to put a very competent woman in the most powerful office in New York City. All New Yorkers deserve what they get if they elect de Blasio for mayor again.

Joseph Cavaliere

Sal will take on charters

Brooklyn: I was going to start this letter by addressing the mayoral candidates, saying that I would vote for the first one who promised to fire Eva Moskowitz, but then, I remembered that Bill de Blasio ran on that platform four years ago, and has since chosen to ignore the voters who supported him on this position. This is the reason that I am voting for Sal Albanese, the anti-charter school candidate. Robert Matson

Yes on the Con Con

Brooklyn: I know that some people are afraid of what could happen if we held a constitutional convention, but I am more afraid about what will happen if we do not. We have a chance to perfect our democracy and once again become a model for other states. Through a convention, we can protect the “forever wild” lands while also providing mechanisms for necessary intrusion upon those lands. Through a convention, we can excise corruption by imposing strict campaign finance laws; impose term limits on elected officials; and reform the judicial system to be more effective and efficient. Instead, today we are told it is what it is. We could do so many positive things through a constitutional convention if we work together, stay active in the process, and stay vigilant against moneyed interests. R. Jacob Lamar

No on the Con Con

Bronx: There’s no guarantee that a constitutional convention will eliminate any of the flaws in the current constitution highlighted in Monday’s editorial. There’s also no guarantee such a convention would not strip workers of civil service protections, pensions and health care. To those who think all the corrupting political and business influences will be absent from such a convention, to borrow a line from Sinatra, “If you believe that, I’ll sell you some swampland in Jersey.”

Richard Warren

Yes for a better government

Glendale: Elections are supposed to be about choices. On Tuesday’s ballot across the city there are two JEFFERSON SIEGEL/DAILY NEWS district attorneys, one candidate for state Senate, two for Assembly, and eight for City Council who are running unopposed. Am I the only person in this city frightened by this picture? When will people be given a choice? The choice we have is to vote for a constitutional convention to come up with a solution to this problem that threatens democracy in this great state. For those of you voting against the convention, do you really believe that any of the people running unopposed will try to solve this problem? There is no incentive for the politicians only looking out for themselves to try to solve the problem. Vote yes on con con! Don’t be fooled by the propaganda and slanted commercials.

Thomas C. Murawski

No, there are other ways

Brooklyn: A constitutional convention is unnecessary and expensive ($100 million plus). It would be dominated by political insiders who would choose delegates for the convention. It would benefit special interests and lobbyists who want deals for their clients and not the working people of the state. It would be less costly and more democratic for the Legislature to amend the Constitution without a convention by presenting amendments to the voters. There have been 200 amendments in the last 100 years; only six came from a constitutional convention. Protect our environment, schools, seniors and workers’ rights. Vote no on Proposal 1. Michael J.
