Dear Editor: I would like to take the time to thank all who worked so hard for me during the recent Hoboken Mayoral and City Council election. Your sincere commitment and enthusiasm were the driving force behind me. I could never have done it without you. Although I came up a little short, it is …
Dear Editor: The election is over and I congratulate Mayor-Elect Cammarano on his focused, determined, effective and disciplined campaign. It is now time that we come together and work with our new Mayor to reach a consensus on the many challenges facing Hoboken, e.g.; budget reduction, reduced property taxes, and a timely “reval”; quality and …

Dear Editor: On behalf of the Hoboken YMCA board of directors, I would like to thank the Madison Bar and Grill for sponsoring the 1st annual golf outing to support the YMCA.

Even though my campaign is over, I must stay true to the convictions that started my journey and now support the candidate I believe is best suited …

She made some claims that I can’t verify but one that I can. I was the Campaign Manager for an Independent, Chris Carbine. Like Patricia, Chris filled out the Hoboken Reporter’s questionnaire (as did Tim …
Dear Editor, I am writing to the residents in senate district 33 with an alert and request. Once again libraries are being undermined by the introduction of Bill S2775.
