Dear Editor: I have been driving through Hudson County Park in North Bergen, NJ for forty plus years. I am amazed at all the work finally being done to the park. New roads, sewerage, signs, painted lines, ball fields, pond cleaned up (I jog around the pond), the rocks cleaned and painted, etc… Someone finally …
Dear Editor: Re the April 5 Reporter and Eileen McInerney’s encomium for Senator Robert Menendez, claiming he “fights for our interests every single day.” Does he?

Dear Editor: What ever happened to the good old days when the worst things we had to fear on Memorial Day were traffic jams and indigestion? This year, it’s all about food poisoning by the nasty E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria bugs lurking in hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken nuggets at millions of backyard barbecues. …

New Jersey is one of 18 states in the country in which every citizen is considered a …
Dear Editor: I am a great supporter of Senator Bob Menendez. He stands for the people of New Jersey and for the United States of America.

Dear Editor: Mr. DeGise, you pride yourself on your efforts to create and preserve open space and parks in Hudson County. But in a letter to me dated 10-31-14 concerning my opposition to the Braddock Park Diversion, you stated “No additional parking, building, or any other form of coverage would be brought to this location.” …

Dear Editor: The Township of North Bergen and Hudson County are applying to NJ DEP for a diversion which would permanently give the No. Bergen Preschool 1–2 acres of Braddock (North Hudson) Park land. 15 years ago North Bergen built what was supposed to be a new preschool next to the Lincoln School.
