Dear Editor: As a reformer completely disheartened by the status quo in Hoboken, I am paying close attention to the mayoral election under way. We have the potential to institute a new era in Hoboken. Both Beth Mason and Dawn Zimmer have come across to me as strong prospects for moving forward and ending the …

Dear Editor: The stories about the grand opening of the W Hotel on the Hoboken waterfront omitted any mention of the fact that this is a tax abated building. Of course the W is celebrating, I get a 47 percent tax hike, or 23 percent as the mayor likes to say, and the W Hotel …
Dear Editor: When the three major mayor candidates announced their tickets some weeks ago, I felt pretty good. All three were literate without being verbose, and each spent much more time than was necessary, or ultimately productive, criticizing Mayor Roberts. I figured that after the dust settled we might end up with a mayor who …

Dear Editor: Putting up signs on lampposts is illegal in Hoboken. Most of the people running for office have respected this rule, but two candidates for Mayor, Beth Mason and Frank Orsini, continue to break the law by blanketing our city with illegal signs promoting themselves.

Dear Editor: Thank you for the opportunity to run in the recent school board election. It was an educational experience (no pun intended) as well as an exhausting one. I was glad to see increased voter turnout for something as critically important for our schools, and I hope the trend in increased interest and voter …
Dear Editor: I wanted to take this opportunity to share my view on the importance of the Hoboken University Medical Center to the people of Hoboken. Healthcare is one of the most significant issues facing our society. Spiraling costs and the absence of care for so many of our fellow citizens has created a severe …
Dear Editor: I have had the honor and privilege of serving the residents of Hoboken for the past four years as a member of the City Council. I certainly have grown from this experience and I am grateful to Mayor Roberts for giving me the opportunity to run for office with him in 2005. While …
