To the Editor: On behalf of the Hudson County Animal League I would like to thank everyone who attended our December 5 Tricky Tray at St. Michael’s Community Center.

To the Editor: I would like thank all the kind citizens of Bayonne, friends and neighbors who attended the Better Bayonne Kickoff Fundraiser at KP Sarelli’s.

To the Editor: This letter is in rebuttal to the “Message from the mayor, the in review part 1”. Mayor Smith states that when he took office in November 2008 Bayonne had a combined debt of $458,829,742 million dollars.
