Dear Editor: It was rather surreal to read First Ward Councilwoman Theresa Castellano’s latest rant against Councilman Bhalla, accusing him of nepotism because of the mayor’s appointment of his brother to the Library Board, an unpaid, voluntary community board.

First of all, with all the controversy surrounding Councilman Bhalla’s recent behavior, with regard to voting to renew the contract of a friend, …
Dear Editor: On June 8th, an ugly reminder of the “us” versus “them” politics of personal destruction indulged by some, was unfurled in the following e-mail sent out by none other than, Hoboken City Council President, Peter Cunningham: “Dear Friends, Family and Neighbors, It has been brought to our attention that the standard bearers of …
Dear Editor: You recently printed my 6/7/10 letter re “Clean Up Sinatra Drive.” A progress report: Since my first letter was published, Stevens U (or the town of Hoboken?) has chopped down the knee-high scrub plants (weeds) that were overtaking the sidewalk alongside the Stevens parking lot on Sinatra Drive. Thank you. Also, the abandoned …
Dear Editor, This is a letter of thanks and gratitude on behalf of the passing of my Mother, Lena Vitale, on May 30, 2010. I would like to start by thanking all who attended Mom’s wake, funeral and burial and everyone who donated (flowers, mass cards, etc) and everyone who has contacted me and my …
Dear Editor: I am a Hoboken resident, preschool teacher and women’s lit novelist. I enjoyed the article about Carlo’s Bakery very much. I’ve been watching the lines grow, and grow, and grow.
