To the Editor: The City of Bayonne has a cash flow problem and plans to get over the hump. Mayor Smiths’ campaign slogan was “Moving Bayonne Forward” but it appears he is moving Bayonne backwards to fiscal oblivion! During the campaign for Mayor he knew the bad financial status of our city but he never …
To the Editor: The officers and members of the Unity Social Club would like to thank Jason O’Donnell and his assistant for the fine work they did by cooking for our July 4 barbeque. Jason has been extremely helpful to us over the past few months. He is someone we can be very proud of. …

To the Editor: I would like to express my sincere thanks to the people of the 3rd Ward for electing me to the Bayonne Municipal Council. Your support and trust is something I will never forget. I am humbled and honored to have the privilege of being your public servant. Just as you were there …
To the Editor: Things are changing in our society, but some of these changes are not for the better. People are less concerned with their fellow man. It is a “me first” society. Look around Bayonne.
