Dear Editor: The Jersey City School Board needs a trustee who is a true stakeholder with a first-hand perspective of our school’s challenges and true experience taking on these challenges within our schools. I am running for the board because I am the candidate best qualified for this position. Indeed our schools face tremendous challenges …
Dear Editor: There is a lack of communication between the Board of Education and the people it is suppose to serve. It would be very easy to point the finger at the board. Many do. It is also very easy to blame parents and call them unengaged or uncaring. It is that kind of finger …
Dear Editor: In Saturday’s Hoboken Reporter there was a letter addressing the lines, people looking for parking spaces, etc. because of the fans of Carlo’s Bakery. Agreed, it must be annoying for some people. However, I for one am happy for the Valastro family. They have given me so many wonderful memories of growing up …
Dear Editor: It looks as though Ward E, Councilman Steve Fulop and his downtown coalition are back in the driver’s seat steering his choices in the upcoming Jersey City School Board Elections into an easy runaway checkered flag to victory.

The board approved the 700-page budget even though they received it less than a week before. Board members Sterling Waterman and Carol …
Dear Editor: I went to Carlo’s Bakery recently to get some cookies for my block association meeting and I was told I had to stand in line behind a bunch of tourists to get my box of cookies. I asked to see the bouncer and he asked if I was from Hoboken. When I told …
Dear Editor: March is National Nutrition Month, a time to call attention to the importance of healthy eating.

Dear Editor: Another despicable act of cruelty was inflicted upon the innocent. I’m not speaking of the war zone in which violence and crimes are regularly committed by vicious animals that plague and terrorize our lives throughout the day. That seems to multiply in darkness, which offers a camouflaged shadow of arrogance to their existence? …
