Dear Editor: The statements made by Cammarano’s attorney are laughable and I find it amazing that he had the gall to conjure up images of a politician who had no idea that what he was doing was illegal. And to top it off, he pulls the tried-and-true “victim” card by saying that these actions were …
Dear Editor: The termination of 18 Hoboken Police Officers would be a “monumental mistake” on behalf of Mayor Dawn Zimmer and places the City of Hoboken at grave risk for an augmentation of criminal activity overnight. I supported Mayor Zimmer and voted for her in lieu of other candidates with the hope of positive change. …

Dear Editor: It is shocking just how far some developers in City of Hoboken will go to subvert the public good and the retention of rent controls, which provide some level of affordable housing, here – just for the sake of even more profit. There have been two mass mailings to homeowners with distortions and …
Dear Editor: I read the article you wrote, and while it mentions the pro-legal stance, it clearly advocates for turning a blind eye towards people breaking and entering into the U.S. This is a crime and should be taken as serious as paying taxes, driving drunk and rape. Laws are meant to be respected and …

Dear Editor: Why was I not surprised to see Ron Simoncini as the contact for Toll Brothers’ 700 Grove luxury condo project? He is the head of Mile Square Taxpayers Association and Hoboken Revolt: The Hoboken Tax Reform Coalition. He lives out of the area. He is simply a hired gun for big money real …

A commendation is in order for our community policing officers and its Commanders: Chief Falco, Lt Ken Ferrante, Sgt. Marnell, and Sgt. Gigante! The following officers were exceptional in their organizing, outreach and interaction with residents: James …
Dear Editor: As a community counselor, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the Hoboken Housing Authority’s board of commissioners and Executive Director Carmelo Garcia. For many years we’ve had a safe haven for recovering users in the 411 Marshall Drive community room. This has been a sanctuary for those persons who have suffered …

Dear Editor: Part one: Fear is the father of hate. In times of insecurity, demagogues do everything they can to pump up people’s fears and channel it against whoever is not in a position to defend themselves. This lets people vent their frustration against a politically weak target such as Jews in Nazi Germany, or …
