Dear Editor: On June 3rd, registered Democrats and unaffiliated voters in Hoboken and Jersey City will cast an important vote – deciding who represents them as their Hudson County legislator, or freeholder.

Dear Editor: I am writing to you today because there is a freeholder election this June 3rd. As I walk around Hoboken and Jersey City, I noticed that most of my neighbors do not know that there is a primary election nor do they know who is running. This is a missed opportunity for people …

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: Over the past several months, there have been several editorials commenting on the pros and cons of the major re-developments underway in the Journal Square area.

Dear Editor: Further to the letter written by James Francis Waddleton published on May 4th in the Hudson Reporter, I would like to add few things about the Freeholder O’Dea when it comes to helping the chronic homeless population and constituents: He played a vital role in the opening of a Kearny warming center for …

Dear Editor: Councilman Michael Yun of Jersey City has introduced a plan to double the salaries of the City Council to attract the best and brightest candidates. This is ridiculous and absurd.
