To the Editor: In this busy crazy world of ours with so many people facing hardships and dealing on a day to day basis with so many of their problems such as the economy and hoping that their spouse will not lose his/her job, or now finding it hard to even get health care at …
To the Editor: Recently, this newspaper ran a full-page advertisement (!) sponsored by the BOE paid by the taxpayers of Bayonne. In my opinion (only one?), I found it curious and mystifying. Why? First of all, the teachers have been without a contract since 2010.The calendar indicates this is 2014 (…and counting). Second, the word …
To the Editor: Did anyone write to you regarding the letter that PSE&G sent out to 20,000 people? It says that you don’t have to answer your door for those Energy people anymore because our Mayor and Council switched us to some company called TriEagle. I was also wondering if Councilman Ray Greaves had ever …
To the Editor: I’m concerned for people who receive Families First cards. They are being discriminated against, especially the homeless. They cannot purchase any hot meals: example a barbecued chicken. Where are they supposed to heat anything? This winter is one of the worst so far. It would be nice if they could buy a …

To the Editor: I would like to address some misinformation that was put out in a letter last week, written by one John Sebik. I find it comical that Mr. Sebik cites his contempt for politics and how he is a “people-tician.” I’ve never seen Mr. Sebik at a council meeting and I haven’t seen …
To the Editor: I’m writing to thank Bayonne residents for their generosity in helping thousands of suffering children worldwide this Christmas. Through their efforts, we were able to collect more than 1,092 shoeboxes—filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items—for Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind. These simple gift-filled shoeboxes …
To the Editor: Last week a negative letter appeared in the pages of this newspaper against Washington Flores in regard to a letter he wrote the previous week. I want the public to know that neither I, nor anyone in my family, wrote the letter, even though my son’s name appeared at the end. I …
To the Editor: I would love to extend a warm thank you to Mike Bruckler, general manager of Frank’s Theatres, South Cove, Bayonne, for providing the first-ever sensory movie showing (of the movie “Walking with Dinosaurs” this past weekend). At a sensory showing, the lights are dimmed but not off, the sound is lowered, and …
To the Editor: More times than not people are quick to point out the negative in a situation rather than the positive. Last Friday my mom took a very bad fall in her home. Within minutes of the 911 call McCabe ambulance was on the scene. The paramedics were the utmost professionals, accessing the situation, …
To the Editor: I am still amazed that the City of Bayonne is still focusing on getting more residential developments into this city instead of trying to lure businesses and getting good-paying jobs for the citizens. So far all I mainly hear is more residential developments being built instead of new and old businesses settling …
