Dear Editor: I am writing in response to the letter regarding school uniforms that appeared in the Hoboken Reporter on 11/15/2009. I have a child in the public schools and I think it’s a great policy and would like to see it enforced. The current school uniform policy in Hoboken is really more of a …
Dear Editor: This week healthcare, representing one fifth of the American economy, will start being debated by Congress. Although 85 per cent of Americans have healthcare insurance and a vast majority are satisfied with their coverage, our Congressmen are poised to enact an expensive big government overhaul. One item receiving attention is the “state opt …

As a school board member it gives me great joy and pride to know that we have a distinguished chief school …

Dear Editor: I write this letter at 3:30 on a Sunday morning, after being jarred awake by a group of noisy, inconsiderate bar patrons whooping it up like it was New Years Eve beneath my Washington Street apartment window.

Dear Editor: Up at Stevens, they showed the movie “Delivered Vacant.” I saw some people in the audience that I am sure felt vindicated in their actions, as redress for how others suffered in the past, and they missed the true lesson of history. Hoboken was DYING! You take away the shipping, Holland – America …
