Dear Editor: Your story “City approves $100K more to fight pier development” last week really struck a nerve with me. Dawn Zimmer is spending piles of money recklessly, and we as taxpayers are ultimately paying the cost. The reaction people have against new development in this town is a pet peeve of mine. All residents …

Dear Editor: I find it telling that a mayor, who didn’t win an initial election in Hoboken but slid into the position, finds it appropriate to tout low crime as an achieving accomplishment during her time in office. Low crime rates are a result of Hoboken’s primary demographic and the insanely, absurdly massive police budget. …

Dear Editor: The new, state-of-the-art (I suppose) trash receptacles on Washington St., called Big Belly, should be returned to the seller and Hoboken should get its money back. To put your trash into Big Belly, you have to open a door. Imagine someone with the cold, or the flu, who just blew his nose, and …
Dear Editor: Where’s Hoboken? It’s a figurative question; but one that we might want to ask. As an important sustainability agenda in Hoboken expands, are we inadvertently promoting a disposable history? First we had economic development, then smart development, then family-friendly development and, of course, sustainable/green development. While we design ways to protect our fair …
Dear Editor: TV host Glenn Beck and other stalwarts of the Christian right have attacked the recent blockbuster “Noah” as being “pro-animal” and unfaithful to the Bible. Well, yes and no. The film is both pro-animal and faithful to the Bible, at least to the Book of Genesis, our only source for the story of …
Dear Editor: I feel it important to speak up in regard to Justin, who at 16 has become a national personality for his dangerous trek up the WTC. First and foremost I do not condone his climb. With that said, he most definitely has raised some very important points. USA security is weak to say …
Dear Editor: After several months of crippling snowstorms and flooding, I really look forward to spring weather, green grass, and flowers in bloom. The advent of spring is also a great opportunity to turn over a new leaf on our dietary and exercise habits. In fact, I’ve been told that hundreds of communities celebrate the …
Dear Editor: The recently released Alzheimer’s Association 2014 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures reveals that almost two thirds of American’s living with Alzheimer’s disease are women and that more than 60 percent of Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers are women. A woman’s estimated lifetime risk of developing Alzheimer’s at age 65 is 1 in 6, compared …

Dear Editor: The New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome & Associated Disorders (NJCTS), the nation’s first Center of Excellence dedicated toward helping individuals and families affected by the often devastating neurological disorder, is proud to announce that it is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2014. Since 2004, NJCTS has led the nation in providing a …
Dear Editor: My husband and I have 2 children attending the HoLa Charter School. We chose to put our daughter’s name in the publicly held lottery for HoLa, not because it was a “Charter School”, but because we were passionate about the benefits of early childhood language acquisition, which no other Hoboken school offered. There …
