Dear Mr. Zuckerman, The New York Daily News can be consistently relied upon to publish sensational articles concerning transgender people and issues. It is of course your right to do so under the Constitution. Your readers are invited to provide their comments upon these articles. Owing to the often tawdry nature of these articles, readers are able to freely and anonymously publish their bigotry. It is not uncommon for readers to use terms such as "tranny", "he-she", "ladyboy", "shim", "shemale", to describe transpeople. The New York Daily News seemingly fails to understand that these words are epithets to the transgender community, as objectionable as the "N" word is to African Americans; and while the NYDN blocks the use of the "N" word and prohibits its display in the comments section, the NYDN does not seem to be concerned about using the derogatory terms indicated above. Mr. Zuckerman, please instruct your editorial staff that these terms are objectionable and ought not be permitted to be displayed in readers comments, that they should be blocked. Thank you.

Stop the practice of elected officials using tax dollars to erect a false legacy of their achievement via plaques, monuments, etc. in private and public arenas. It must be made illegal for elected officials to gift an institution with tax dollars as if they are making a personal donation.

We the undersigned urge you to publicly endorse and sign into law Richard Gottfried's single payer healthcare bill – A07860/S5425. This bill will create a publicly funded, privately provided healthcare system that guarantees universal health coverage to every resident of New York State regardless of their employment status. The proposed system requires no co-payments, no deductibles and does not mandate that individuals purchase private health insurance. Funded primarily through a flat payroll/income tax, this bill will greatly reduce overall healthcare costs in New York State by reducing administrative waste, curtailing the fee-for-service payment system and encouraging timely, preventative care.
