Letters to the Editor reflect broad political tensions in Sept. 28, 2025 NY Post edition

A batch of letters to the editor published in the New York Post on Sept. 28, 2025, reflects a range of political concerns tied to current debates in U.S. politics. The letters address media credibility, the strength of political candidates, education policy, public safety, and urban governance, all framed against a backdrop of editorials from the same week.

In one letter, Maria Musolino of Staten Island calls for ending The View, arguing the program is not a news show and should be taken off the air. Patrick Timmins of Manhattan urges a fresh, moderate candidate to replace Rep. Jerrold Nadler, arguing the current field lacks leadership to oppose national attacks. Anthony Parks of Garden City critiques the leadership of the American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten, contending her role has not advanced education standards. Carol Puttre-Czyz of Manhattan laments what she calls dangerous bicycle behavior and urges city leaders to better protect pedestrians in Central Park.

Other letters touch on broader policy debates. Zohran Mamdani is described by one writer as indecisive on decriminalizing prostitution, a topic that often surfaces in mayoral campaigns. Donna Skjeveland Holbrook argues for stricter rodent control and better sanitation as a practical approach to reducing infestations. James Scotto of Yorktown Heights adds his perspective on public safety and urban policy as the city confronts competing demands on services and safety.

The Sept. 28 edition of the Post collects these and other reader viewpoints just days after editorials published Sept. 21-24 examined related issues, including coverage of Randi Weingarten and debates over urban policy such as rodent control and prostitution. Readers are invited to participate by submitting letters to letters@nypost.com, with the editors reserving the right to edit for clarity, length, accuracy, and style.
