Dear Editor: What a delicious irony – Tiffanie Fisher, the chief “no!” voter on the Zoning Board, writing a letter to the editor in praise of soon to be departed reporter Carlo Davis last week, while Carlo lambasts the Zoning Board on page 1 (“Zoned out” Reporter August 30, 2015).

Dear Editor: On behalf of the children of the Hoboken Housing Authority, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the following individuals who helped to make our 100 Family Day such a huge success: Councilman Tim Occhipinti, Parquet Floor, and the Woman’s Alliance.

Over 3,000 people saw this dazzling production, set against the breathtaking backdrop …
Dear Editor: I want to thank Mayor Zimmer for the highly professional job that she performs for our city. She works on our behalf with straightforward efficiency and integrity, and with a minimum of fuss, bother, hoopla, self-promotion and political nonsense. We are all very lucky – looking at the history of who and what …
Dear Editor: This past Monday, August 10th, I was on my usual walk along the river when I took a bad fall near the skate park when I tripped on a raised sidewalk slat. I would like to thank the three women who ran over to assist me, but did not get their names. If …
