Welcome to Hudson’s Common Sense

It started as a group chat: locals and newcomers trading confusion and curiosity over City Hall antics. Now it’s a newsletter for anyone who wants facts before feelings, dialogue over dogma, and a little humor between the headlines.

Here’s what you’ll get:

Monthly dispatches: our best reads, the latest Gossips of Rivertown highlights, memes worth sharing, and smart local analysis.
Radical centrism in practice: civic curiosity without ideology, satire without spite.
A platform for all voices: we publish thoughtful takes, rebuttals, and letters from every side.
An open invitation: forward, reply, argue, or write your own Op-Ed. Hudson needs conversation more than consensus.

Before we get started, we want to hear from you:

Which town in Columbia County do you call home (Let us know if you’re from another country or country)
If the City of Hudson, NY, which of the five Wards do you live in? (Here is a nifty map if you need it: https://cms3.revize.com/revize/hudsonnynew/City%20of%20Hudson%20-%20Ward%20Map%20-%202022%20redistricting.pdf
