To the Editor: I am very upset about several things going on in and around City Hall. I don’t know if everyone has experienced this, but I must say enough is enough. When I called to speak to my councilman, I spoke with a young man, very nice and polite, but that is all he …
To the Editor: It is not often that I write to praise a public official, but in this case it is indeed the exception. I am writing to tell you and the citizens of Bayonne what I feel. This past month I have seen “changes I can believe in.” These changes are being made by …
To the Editor: The Bayonne Quilt Club will be having its first Quilt Show and Food Drive on Sept. 19 at the Bayonne Library and we invite the public to come and see the beautiful quilts made by our members. We especially invite our special friends and supporters who have donated fabric and sewing supplies, …
To the Editor: I would like to thank the gentleman and ladies for their excellent care on my stay for approx. 24 days. I entered on July 11 and was discharged on Aug. 6. They used the new technique for the aneurysm – the umbrella. Also to the whole staff in the operating room – …

The outpour of generosity was overwhelming between the phone calls for pickups, to the dropping off of bags of food to my home. It made me realize there are more good people out there, …
To the Editor: After watching last week’s council meeting, I guess nothing should surprise me. I have done some homework, but maybe not enough. I don’t understand how Mr. Lo Re, Mr. Halecky, Mr. Connelly and Mr. Ruane can just go along with everything that the mayor wants. Don’t they see what is wrong with …

To the Editor: I watched this week’s city council meeting in amazement as Third Ward Councilman Gary LaPelusa questioned the integrity of Mayor Smith’s designee for law director, Charles D’Amico. LaPelusa wrongly implied that because Mr. D’Amico made a legal donation months ago to Mayor Smith’s re-election fund, he was rewarded with a city job. …
To the Editor: Kudos to Richard Censullo, MPH, as he stood up to Gary LaPelusa at the last city council meeting. LaPelusa was an embarrassment to Bayonne as he questioned Mr. Censullo’s credentials.
