Dear Editor: I have never written a “letter to the editor” before but I feel I must speak out now. Peter Cammarano must resign. Hoboken has been through enough this year with the tax increase/budget fiasco, a heated mayoral race and now this?! We need a leader who can concentrate all their efforts on Hoboken …
Dear Editor: As a resident, taxpayer and member of the voting public of the City of Hoboken, I hereby demand that Peter Cammarano tender his resignation immediately and step down from his elected position as the Mayor of the City of Hoboken. I firmly believe that he has violated the public’s trust through his alleged …
Dear Editor and Hoboken Residents: Our newly elected mayor has brought shame to our town and to himself. Those that voted for him (not me) placed trust in him to do the job well, without corruption or other methods of self-service.

The stadium would be a facility residents could walk to, and would also plug into …
Dear Editor: The July 19 edition of the Hoboken Reporter mischaracterized my comments at the last Board of Education meeting. I spoke out in response to an agenda item that stated: “That be appointed to the position of Interim Superintendent of Schools for the period of to , at a salary of $_________ per annum, …
Dear Editor: I am wondering how the mysterious “Michelle” comes to have so much insight into Rockefeller Group’s development plan for the northwest end of town. I have been firmly of the understanding that the firm has been keeping its plans under wraps. I would love for this “Michelle” to share more details of the …
Dear Editor: Thursday was another sad day in Hoboken and Hudson County politics. For too long, residents of our community have disassociated from participating in local government or left our community on the view that corruption pervades our local government. Today’s arrests of Mr. Cammarano and other Hudson County politicians reinforces that perception and may …
