To the Editor: I was amazed at the full page ad that ran in last week’s Bayonne Community News for CarePoint Health that featured a fireman in uniform. What amazes me is that CarePoint Health no longer accepts Horizon Blue Cross/Blue Shield, the insurance provider for the police, fire department, Board of Education, and city …
To the Editor In a letter to the editor date June 8th a reader had mentioned her disdain for the primary process in New Jersey. I myself tend to lean towards one party over another yet a simple reading of the rules and regulations for primary voting would show that anyone can vote in the …
To the Editor October 14, 2015 will be a day my family will never forget. It was a traumatizing day because my family suffered the unforeseen and incomprehensible loss of my youngest sister, Nicole Giorgio. She was only 27 and she the light of many people’s lives. My family is still healing all these months …
To the Editor About 1:30 a.m. on Memorial Day the sewer backed up into our basement. Upon calling the authorities the response was immediate from both the police and fire departments.

To the Editor: Come on, Al.

There is nothing alleged either in Hillary’s vicious bullying of the many women who were victims of Bill’s voracious predations. …
To the Editor: Here are examples of three entities and their cost-saving devices. I will leave it up to you to decide whether or not “the end justifies the means.” St. Henry’s: continue to keep the church vacant except for a few hours on Sunday and “cram” the parishioners from closed churches into the nearest …
To the Editor: I’ve been a voter for 37 years and am one of the 2.6 million New Jersey voters who have chosen not to affiliate with a political party. We make up 48 percent of the NJ electorate, significantly more than the two major parties with Democrats comprising 32 percent and Republicans 20 percent. …
To the Editor: Super wealthy Americans have only themselves to blame if they are perturbed by Bernie Sanders’s strong showing in this year’s presidential campaign. When will today’s One Percent understand what their more enlightened predecessors figured out after World War II?: Enabling workers to prosper by offering full-time jobs which pay decent wages makes …
To the Editor: I am writing this letter to congratulate the Bayonne Board of Education Trustees Desmond, Finnerty, Cruden, Lowandy, Munoz, President Broderick, and Vice President Wilbeck on voting in favor of changing the passing grade back to a 70, which was changed to a 65 back in 2012-2013 school year.
