HUDSON COUNTY — Since Hurricane Earl probably won’t keep you cooped up at home this weekend, why not pop out and pick up your town’s edition of the Hudson Reporter newspapers? There’s lots to find out about.
In Hoboken, the battle over police layoffs and how to spend the budget surplus shows no signs of cooling off. Neither does the controversy in Jersey City over conditions at the Liberty Humane Society’s animal shelter. In North Bergen, the imam at the center of the Ground Zero cultural center and mosque debate turns out to be a landlord with some very unhappy tenants.
You’ll get the details on an upcoming mental health forum in Secaucus, the revaluation of property in Guttenberg, a lady in Union City who walks twenty blocks every night feeding the feral cat population, and in Secaucus and Weehawken we’ve discovered an couple of very interesting new writers, one a playwright, the other a journalist who thinks the practice or racial profiling might have begun on the New Jersey Turnpike during the 1980s war on drugs.
All this, and more, in this weekend’s Hudson Reporter newspapers.
