Dear Editor: We wanted to say thank you to all of the HoLa supporters who encouraged us to move forward with submission of a charter school application. It was an intense effort but we completed it! We hope that it will result in a new educational option for Hoboken families – one that is firmly …
Dear Editor: I want to express my thanks to the Board of Education for recently passing the extension of the School Choice program. Carrie Gilliard, Rose Markle, Carmelo DeFalco, Frank Raia and Frances Rhodes-Kearns should be proud of their 6-2 vote that will drive down Per Pupil costs and more fully utilize our schools. Matthew …
Dear Editor: For many years you allowed us to enjoy your piano music. In recent years you joined your musical talents with the voice of Vinnie Barbo which produced an invaluable memory for us. For decades your unforgettable voice rang through the halls of Hoboken City Hall complimented by your warmth and friendly smile. Your …
Dear Editor: During the course of the past few weeks I’ve been hearing an absurd criticism of councilman, and mayoral candidate, Peter Cammarano regarding his affiliation with Mayor Roberts.

No animals were harmed in the writing of this submission. I’d like …
Dear Editor: Back over a year ago the mayors of New Jersey’s two largest cities namely Mayor Healy of Jersey City and Mayor Booker of Newark endorsed Barack Obama for President while the Democratic smart money was on Hillary’s bandwagon. I think our state should be greatly rewarded under the stimulus program. Under the stimulus …
Dear Editor: The Hoboken Historical Museum is charged with the important task of preserving and sharing the rich history of our city. Many of you have participated in the tremendous number of cultural programs and events the museum holds each year. Many of you know of the educational programs we provide to children from pre-school …
Dear Editor: The current Board of Education is ineffective – it is time for a new majority on the board. We have among the highest per pupil expenditure in the state, yet we still need improvement in the middle schools. Due to the lack of improvement in test scores, the BOE has been “penalized” to …
Dear Editor: I encourage all residents to pay close attention to this coming school board election and to the phenomenal slate that Kids First offers. The tree women, Theresa Minutillo, Maureen Sullivan and Ruth McAllister, will bring change to a school system that has long suffered from mismanagement, political patronage and feather bedding. I often …
