Dear Editor: I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for 4th Ward Councilman Mike Lenz in the special election on Nov. 2. Since the very beginning of my campaign to bring positive change to the 4th Ward and all of Hoboken, Mike has been an indispensable part of my team. Hoboken and the 4th …
Dear Editor: It is incredibly unfortunate that any police officer would have to suffer layoffs or demotions. Without a doubt, we need our men and women in blue to keep our community safe. It is disrespectful to have a politician take advantage of such a predicament and promote himself in the midst of such a …
Dear Editor: Thank you from Project Play. I am the co-founder of an initiative called Project Play within the Hoboken Family Alliance – a 10-year-old non-profit, family-focused organization.

Star quality appearances by local and state elected luminaries and political personages for only one school in town, with accompanying publicity, and media intervention, of course! All at or near election time?! Obvious …
Dear Editor: On behalf of the Hoboken Democratic Party (HDP), I wish to thank and congratulate everyone participating in our first Voter Registration Drive at last Saturday’s Arts & Music Festival in Hoboken. With only a table, tent, and a few clipboards and pens, we were able to register 81 individuals, mostly new residents to …
Dear Editor: I wish to reply to his Roger Heitman’s letter with the following: The guard rail located by the Hoboken Fire House Station is an un-documented “memorial” for a Hoboken firefighter who was killed while on duty at that location by a hit-and-run motor vehicle in the 1950s.

Dear Editor: Why should Hoboken go back in time? I know we change the clocks back an hour this season, but why set a whole city back by not supporting the incumbent Councilman Mike Lenz? Mike Lenz has proven his ability to care about the citizens of Hoboken as well as the 4th Ward. Why …
Dear Editor: Once again, the Zimmer Administration is not working with open transparency. Ian Sacs, director of transportation and parking for the City of Hoboken, has already proceeded with blueprints moving the Hoboken Parking Utility from its centrally located offices at City Hall to the residentially located offices at the mid-town garage near the Hoboken …
