Dear Editor: I just returned from a pleasant trip through N.J. (Turnpike, Rte. 78 and local towns). Most roads are smooth – Rte. 78 was just paved – a beautiful smooth ride – then I enter Hoboken – from the Pulaski Skyway through underpass into Hoboken and one road in particular !! It is not …
Dear Editor: The Hoboken Police Department’s Community Policing Bureau would like to thank the residents of Hoboken for their participation during our summer events. Our first event was Bike Registration and Safety Day. Officers William James and Joseph Cahill created this event which allowed adults to register their bikes with the department and provided a …

Dear Editor: The events of the last several weeks have created significant challenges, but our citizens and City workers have come together and demonstrated the community spirit that is such an important part of Hoboken. I spent my first week in office trying to meet with as many City employees as possible to listen to …

There is no simple solution. Property taxes are a complexity of many moving parts like a watch and so many parts have been broken for so long it may be impossible to …
Dear Editor: The resignation of Peter Cammarano and the interim role of Mayor Dawn Zimmer leaves Hoboken with unresolved and important questions to answer. These must be answered during the upcoming mayoral election on Nov 3rd – a winner take all election (i.e. no runoffs). For those of you who are concerned about taxes, the …
Dear Editor: Councilman Peter Cunningham’s statements to his constituents this past week are both disturbing and troublesome. He said that anyone who decides to run against Dawn Zimmer has little regard for the greater good of Hoboken. As a resident, I take offense to this statement. Let me remind him that the voters of Hoboken …
Dear Editor: Over the last few weeks I have read a number of articles selling the benefits of Mayor Zimmer running unopposed in the upcoming November Mayoral Election. Potential opposition to Dawn Zimmer was characterized as an expression of “ego”, while a call for “unity” has eloquently pitched as the best medicine for the City …
