Credit union took us to cleaners

Brooklyn: Shame on the board of directors and the management team at the Municipal Credit Union (“Dumb? You bet!” May 9). Having attended the annual shareholders’ meeting last week, and heard the MCU board patting each other on the back, as well as the rousing response from all of us suckers, I mean shareholders, I was greatly surprised to see the article in Tuesday’s Daily News indicating Kam Wong, CEO of MCU, has been charged with fraud and improper actions in regard to funds within MCU’s care and trust.

Wong was not at the shareholders’ meeting, and we were told he was on “a leave of absence.” I assumed that it involved a personal matter. Boy, was I wrong. It would have been nice to have known why Wong was on a leave of absence, and I would have been interested to hear from the other MCU board members what they had done to allow such alleged corruption to take place under their watch.

Shame on all of the MCU board members, but more importantly, shame on me and all of the other MCU shareholders who were not aware of this deceit. I am tempted to run for office at MCU and throw these dubious characters out on the street. Where are honesty, decency, and most importantly transparency hiding in our society? Come out, you are not alone. I and a lot of other people will defend you. Thank you to the Daily News for this vital information! Jay Gorman

Banish harassment

Manhattan: I applaud Mayor de Blasio and the New York City Council for their leadership to enact a comprehensive and visionary package of reforms to address sexual harassment in our city. Collectively, this package of legislation sends a strong message that the workplace must be filled with respect and that violating basic principles of decency will no longer be tolerated. Women’s City Club hopes that this bold action will prompt even further changes in the private sector and throughout society. Carole J. Wacey President and CEO, Women’s

Watch out

Bronx: In light of recent events, I can’t help but wonder how many powerful men are shaking in their boots with fear that their sexual misdeeds will come to light and end their career and reputation.

He should talk (maybe not)

South Farmingdale, L.I.: I read that Alec Baldwin was a little downhearted because two of the smartest men he knew in politics had their downfall with abuse of women (“Alec sees ‘dreadful’ betrayal,” May 9). This is coming from a father who screamed at the top of his lungs at his daughter in the middle of the city.

Howard Beach: As if seeing that picture of the open knee isn’t enough to make me gag on my breakfast, I read Voicer Wanda Lucci calling Trump a living saint. I nearly choked on my Cheerios. Can someone please remind me whether it was St. Peter or St. Paul who preached about grabbing women by their private parts?

Whatever you say, Cynthia

New Paltz, N.Y.: Garnering the endorsement of the Working Families Party, aka the “Tea Party of the Left,” gubernatorial hopeful Cynthia Nixon can now devote her attention to her two pet progressive issues: the legalization of marijuana (“it’s a moneymaker”) and her contention that AfricanAmerican men “are sitting in jail for something that white people do with impunity,” a catchphrase she trots out in every speech and interview. Underlying this assertion is the idea that the rise in America’s state prison populations is primarily due to the incarceration of nonviolent drug offenders. Not so. In all of the country’s state prisons, only 15% of inmates represent drug convictions — hardly “mass incarceration,” another talking point of Nixon’s and the WFP. Predictably, Mayor de Blasio enthusiastically supports Nixon’s candidacy, as they march gleefully in ideological lockstep, virtually indistinguishable — both in pantsuits, one in high heels.

Bring her b-Ackert

Brooklyn: Where is Kristie Ackert? She’s done a great job covering the Mets. I hope she will be back! Mary Gallagher Elmont, L.I.: To Voicer Bobby Zee: You don’t get it. Too bad. Mighty Quinn writes a lovely, heartwarming column that touches on matters local and sometimes global. The whole point is that it is not about the sad and awful things that occupy all the other pages of the Daily News. Well, don’t worry because he will be gone soon enough and that space will be free for yet another story about something terrible. And I wouldn’t tell you what a sirignano was, even if I knew.

Staining the office

Yonkers: To Voicers Lisa M. Russo and Fred Schoenborn: Please don’t fret. I have my facts very straight. You’re saying that after all the hysteria about the “family values” that President Clinton so sorely lacked, it would’ve been just fine if his affairs had happened before he was elected (as all of them had save Monica Lewinsky)? But now your family values include serial adultery, multiple marriages and bragging about sexual assault, as well as maintaining a slush fund with which to buy the silence of porn stars, strippers and nude models. Why do they need to be silenced? And please, don’t even try to talk about lying! In his first 10 months, Trump told nearly six times as many falsehoods as President Obama did during his entire presidency. Trump can’t keep his lies straight and neither can the people that he hires to lie for him. Novartis, AT&T, Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg and others have funneled several million unaccounted for dollars to stooge Michael Cohen, who I can only imagine is flipping faster than Simone Biles. Now you must excuse me, as there is so much work to do electing the first woman governor of the great State of New York. Suzanne Hayes Kelly

Scrambled Prez

Scranton, Pa.: Donald Trump said that everyone thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. I’m all for a “Trump Nobel,” as unscrambling those letters accurately describes the recipient as a “problem nut.”

Keep your eye on the ball

Fresh Meadows: I’m old enough to have seen well-hitting pitchers going back to Warren Spahn, Don Larsen, and Don Newcombe, and Peter Botte’s column calling for the National League to adopt the designated hitter makes a lot of sense to me (“Making pitch for DH,” May 8). First of all, the number of pitchers who contributed to the offense of their team in any decade could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Second, given the salaries of today’s pitchers, why would owners want to risk the safety of their top pitchers by having them face high-velocity fastball pitchers? Finally, why would any owners not want to have a better offensive team on the field, rather than have an almost automatic out, especially if that out came with a risk of injury?

Mets all, folks

Hawthorne, N.Y.: Over the last 45 years, there has been no more loyal New York Mets fan than myself. I have lived on the roller JEFFERSON SIEGEL/DAILY NEWS coaster every day, every year. But within the last two years, I have witnessed a malaise; a slow, older, injured team that seems to be in a hurry to pop out to the outfield and hit the postgame spread. There is no reason to watch. No reason to root. My nightly entertainment is now too frustrating, and worse, too boring and irrelevant. I will always love you, New York Mets, but goodbye.

The final word

Youngstown, Ohio: Re “Romance writer ignites copyright war after securing ownership of the word ‘cocky’ ” (May 10):Faleena Hopkins trademarked a word for use in romance series titles. The authors she bullied into changing titles were directly affected by that word. The rest of the romance community is upset by the precedent this sets. What’s to stop an avalanche of writers from trademarking whatever word they want? Eventually, there would be nothing left. This isn’t about catty women with claws. It’s about businesswomen who care about fair use and the future of their incomes. The litigation Hopkins threatened is real, and her demand that other authors change their titles has cost them a lot of money already. The danger of such actions extends to all fiction, all media.
