Dear Editor: I am opposed to S2405, which ends the timetable to bring sexual abuse charges. While this legislation is aimed mainly at the Catholic Church; it also leaves our state/county institutions and public schools at risk.

Dear Editor: Since 1872, Christ Hospital has been providing the residents of Jersey City with convenient access to quality healthcare services. It is a community asset we cannot afford to lose.

It’s located right in the center of a crosswalk. Hundreds of school children and their parents walk around this every day. I am shocked that nobody has been …
