Dear Editor: I would like to personally express my deepest gratitude to Frank X. Schillari, the entire Hudson County Sherriff’s Department and all the other emergency response teams that collaborated to ensure our safety on the morning of January 13, 2012. I was in the court house building to handle a personal matter that morning …
Dear Editor: The fact that there have been at least 191 car accidents on Tonnelle Avenue between 88th and 89th Street since the Wal-Mart shopping center opened is testament to the obvious fact that this development was poorly planned, badly designed and done regardless of its impact on the nearby neighborhoods. Besides the huge number …
Dear Editor: The lies and excuses never cease coming from North Bergen Town hall. I refer to the recent article (Superstore can be hazardous, January 2) about the atrocious number of accidents along Tonnelle Avenue near the mega–shopping center anchored by Wal-Mart. The construction of that mall has been a major safety hazard and neighborhood …

The response from the community for …
Dear Editor: The economic times are already tough in New Jersey. Most middle and lower class families are already having a tough time in their day to day routine lives. Now on top of that comes a NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway 50 percent toll hike, another burden on these already struggling families. I …
Dear Editor: Tuesday’s announcement of another red light camera in Jersey City (‘After two red-light cameras record 16,000 violations…’ Dec. 20) is concerning. Police Chief Thomas Comey suggests the cameras are solely to improve public safety. If this is true, he should exhaust alternative safety measures including longer yellow lights, brighter traffic signals, larger signage, …
Dear Editor: 2011 has not been a good year for the meat industry. There were more reports of devastating health impacts. In May, The World Cancer Research Fund advises limiting meat consumption to reduce the risk of bowel cancer. The August issue of The Lancet projects that, on the current meat-based diet, half of the …
Dear Editor: The recent untimely death of Hoboken’s native son Maurice Fitzgibbons has had a profound impact on all who had the privilege to know him. I first met Maurice while I was a grammar school student at Connors School back in 1983 as a volunteer for my first political campaign. Maurice often tells the …
