Dear Editor: In defending Mason’s field of dreams (nightmares?), Jeff Spenkman has not made a single substantive point in support of the merits of the project. Rather, he has wasted his words calling me “mysterious” simply because I decline to give my last name (as if I want Mason’s people harassing me), and insinuating that …

Dear Editor: It is positively stunning to hear the Democrats in Hoboken. Last night, at the protest, Democrats standing around me were all concerned that the “Party” is looking bad. I asked them; “Who has run Hoboken and Hudson County for the last 50 years?” I have seen the corruption in Hudson County occur almost …
Dear Editor: “INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.” The events that occurred last Thursday were shocking to say the least. When I read that our Mayor Peter Cammarano was arrested, it seemed to be a bad dream. After working many long hours and seven days a week for what felt like the last two years, I learned …
Dear Editor: I really got a kick out of “Excessive overkill in law enforcement capabilities.” Talk about overkill!!!! Save the beautiful prose for something that matters. At the time I was reading this, I was suffering from a truly embarrassing situation: Coffee on my butt. Now we all know that people are all ladies and …
Dear Editor: Baseball Back? It never really left us! As the published Historian that found the first baseball game here, and the 150 year history complete with the name Hoboken and where it came from originally (see fullmoonoverhoboken.com) the idea to bring a major baseball team complete with a place for them to play is …
Dear Editor: There are few decisions that a president makes that have such an obvious long term impact as the selection of a new Justice to serve on the Supreme Court. Presidents come and go in a few years, but federal judges hold their jobs for life, and the decisions they make will affect all …
Dear Editor: Dave Roberts: Fireman, Councilman, Gentleman, Mayor and very good friend of the Veterans of this Town of Hoboken. Dave has made this town one of the most desirable Cities to live in. Open Space, better Schools and more parks are some of his accomplishments. More are Sybil’s Cave, a sand beach at Maxwell’s …
Dear Editor: On behalf of the City of Hoboken, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the many sponsors for their support of all the Summer Fun activities the City has planned for 2009. Their financial support has helped to pay for not only performer fees, sound technicians and advertising but the cost of …

Dear Mayor Cammarano: When I was approached by the Chair of your Transition Team, Mike Novak, to join your Transition Team, I was honored to be asked. As you know, while I did not support you in your candidacy for Mayor, I thought your extending an opportunity to me to contribute to the success of …

Dear Editor: Peter Cammarano’s insistence on clinging to office is wrong-headed, and his invocation of the presumption of innocence misses the point. That standard rightly applies to his criminal defense, not the retention of his office. The corollary to the presumption is that ultimately, proof beyond a reasonable doubt is the standard we apply before …
