To the Editor: As many of you know, I had decided to run for a two-year term for the Bayonne Board of Education. My main objective was to give you, the people a choice, to give the people of Bayonne a choice toward an accountable and accessible option in this race. Early last week an …
To the Editor: I’m trying to figure out where all these pro-development voices came from. Where were they in the last municipal election? As I remember it, Davis supporters eviscerated Smith for his pro-development policies. Now it’s OK, because they are in office? Can’t have it both ways guys. In response to Mr. Barone’s letter, …
To the Editor: The solution to the possible construction of the residential tower at the Resnick Hardware outlet is not any easy one. The attraction of bohemians and yuppies to Bayonne is something that the mayor likes to fantasize about, but without enough express trains and buses, this isn’t going to happen anytime soon. Having …
To the Editor: I only moved to Bayonne a month ago, but it amazes me that the tax increase went through so easily with zero public comment. It’s also a real drawback on any ability to revitalize the city. We have a low sales tax rate of 3.5 percent, which from my understanding is to …

For their support of our Pasta …

To the Editor: In Egypt is it impossible for a Christian church to make repairs, let alone construct a new house of worship. An attempt to do these things is the occasion of deadly riots and killings, with no police protection. The legal obstacles to building a church in Egypt are insurmountable. The following is …
To the Editor: I was shocked to read in the July 22 edition of the Community News that there was opposition to a proposed mosque and community school. I am a lifelong Bayonne resident, and I must say I strongly disagree with our “neighbor” on 23rd Street. There is nothing radical about a house of …
To the Editor: This is in response to the letter “Bright idea for the Bayonne Bridge” written by Leo J. Smith Jr. I could not agree more with the notion of creating a pedestrian walkway for the enjoyment of the citizens of Bayonne. The city is known for a few fantastic green spaces including numerous …
