Reverse mortgage comment insulting
After reading a recent article in the Poughkeepsie Journal ("Remark on Fairview spurs discord," May 3), I felt it necessary to send this letter to the editor.
D. David Conklin said he did not remember the date of the public meeting when a woman spoke about the reverse mortgage. It was March 25, and I was the lady at that meeting. I mentioned the reverse mortgage and my objections to that as a solution to our senior tax problem in relation to the excessive fire tax in Fairview.
I may be 85, Conklin, but I know what a reverse mortgage is. Please do not assume, as you stated, that I don't know what a reverse mortgage is since it wasn't explained to me. If I needed it because my husband or I were in failing health, I might consider a reverse mortgage to help us with our living expenses. But not so you can have a "feather in your cap" by having dorms for DCC .
If students want to live in dorms , we have many state universities to accommodate them. Dutchess Community College should stay a community college.
