Dear Editor: I want to thank the Reporter’s Katherine Desimine for her fair assessment of More Rope, a collection of a second decade of Letters to the Editor of this paper, along with the responses these Letters generated. Yes, T. Weed did write “boldly about touchy subjects; controversial, heartwarming”, eliciting some “downright rude” responses, and …
Dear Ms. O’Brien: To answer your question: Yes. If you are going to have any conversation, with anyone, you can assume that is recorded.

Dear Editor: By now you’ve probably heard that the wealthy developer/real estate lobbying group Mile Square Taxpayers Association (MSTA) pulled out all the stops and falsehoods, overturning our 2012 rent control election victory in the courtroom. Once again the citizens of Hoboken must go to the polls and tell this lobbying group that we will …

Dear Editor: When I moved to Hoboken in 1996 I didn’t know much about the town. Over time, my old friends moved away, but I remained. Hoboken became my home and there was nowhere else I wanted to be. I’ve lived in Hoboken for almost 20 years now. I got married and my amazing wife …
