Dear Editor: As most of us know, squirrels have caused me never to taste a pear that grows on my backyard tree, squirrels vandalize my garden with impunity, digging holes, pulling green tomatoes off the vine, taking a bite, and leaving it on the ground to rot. This I have put up with for years, …

The election is on June 7 and the 33rd Legislative District is comprised of a substantial portion of downtown Jersey City, along with Hoboken, Weehawken, and Union City. The current …
Dear Editor: I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but just in case you’re living under a rock, and don’t think that will protect you from the clutches of the Jersey City Tax Collector’s Office, the new proposed reevaluation is scheduled to begin shortly. As the residents and business owners, including the renters, …
