Alonso for freeholder

To the Editor: Is Bayonne getting its fair share of county resources, while paying taxes? I don’t think so and that’s why I am running for freeholder. Bayonne doesn’t get nearly as much money for the parks like other cities such as Jersey City and North Bergen do. Nor does Bayonne get proper county funding …

Trash talk

To the Editor: I noticed that in our great city, certain rules apply only to certain people. For example, if someone puts out his or her garbage before 5 p.m., we get a ticket because there’s a city ordinance that says you can’t put it out before five. But how come the garbage collectors can …

I suddenly had to relieve myself. To my consternation, no โ€œPort-a-Johnโ€ was available. I immediately rushed home in time. Itโ€™s a disgrace for …

A fine doctor retires

To the Editor: In my humble opinion, Bayonne will soon be losing the services of the very finest endocrinologist ever to practice medicine.
