Dede Scozzafava, the former Republican candidate for the 23rd Congressional District, spoke out about the attacks, lies and betrayals she says she felt during the campaign.

Here are some of your responses:

Their personal attacks are disgusting and we're all better off without that. I hope the Republicans examine their goals and their consciences and don't penalize Scozzafava for her courage.

Carol Goldie

Just more proof she isn't made of tough enough stuff to be a Republican. We have to be able to withstand much more than that!

Tamara Ashley

The rhino comment that she says was made has nothing to do with her weight or appearance. The term is RINO--Republican In Name Only.

Peggy Wells

She's the only one guilty of betrayal here - both to the people of the 23rd District and the Republican Party.

Bernie Pawlak

I commend Dede Scozzafava for standing up for what she believes is right and for her constituents.

Dexter native David Lane died on patrol as a New York State Police trooper last week.

Here's a sampling of the emails we received:

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Lane family. David was an amazing person and taken from you way too early. He will truly be missed.

Kristen West

He was so young and all he wanted to do was to serve and protect. What an upstanding young man.

The water supply in the villages of Adams and Adams Center is running low, causing a state of emergency.   

Here are a couple of your emails:

The citizens of any water district should never have to worry about being without water they are PAYING for!

It seems there should be some kind of emergency backup plan in case of emergency so the fire department would be able to at least have something to work with until their mutual aid crews arrived.
