To the Editor: The issue of helping poor and working-class families is a very hot topic in our country, state, and municipalities right now. Everyone claims to love helping poor and working-class families yet there is always a flip side to a story. How funds are allocated, teachers are paid, and student resources to name …

To the Editor: McDonald’s pledge to start using cage-free eggs is only a small step in preventing staggering suffering endured by millions of birds. Hatcheries that annually supply 200 million hens for U.S. egg production, including cage-free, also kill the same number of male chicks at birth by grinding them up alive in industrial macerators …
To the Editor: Although this letter of thanks may be a bit late, I wish to thank the emergency room team at Bayonne Medical Center that worked with efficiency and speed to keep me alive when I suffered a heart attack on June 11, 2015. Last, but not least, I thank Dr. Mohammed Asif, cardiologist, …
To the Editor: A couple of weeks ago, I was presented with a difficult situation. I was flying back from vacation with a very sick in-law. The situation was so complex that, honestly, I was at wit’s end on figuring out what to do. I called Councilman Sal Gullace, and he really helped me out …

St., and I am seeking a three-year term for school board trustee for the newly created elected school board. …

To the Editor: People write letters to the editor for a number of reasons. Many want the chance to express their opinions because they believe that their opinion matters – to themselves if no one else. But what if your opinion really doesn’t matter to anyone other than market researchers? What happens then? Just take …
To the Editor: I guess John Sebik didn’t read Kathleen McNally’s very professional letter of 8/26 outlining the way this administration should have planned these many developments going on in Bayonne. She certainly did her homework. Instead, this administration is proceeding as planned in all of their developments in total disregard of local residents. Ms. …
To the Editor: Mr. John Sebik calls Bayonne “the laughing stock of Hudson County.” Having hoards of new buildings where the rent on a one bedroom apartment is $2,200 isn’t going to benefit the current residents very much. Manhattan transplants or yuppies from Hoboken and Jersey City won’t be attracted to our little secret. Instead, …
