Dear Editor: Living in the NJ 8th Congressional District, I’ve been writing my representatives in D.C. and their local offices here in Hudson County for years – and 9 times out of 10 I’ve received answers; but for almost two years now — that has changed! What I’m not not talking about are letters, faxes, …
Dear Editor: Healthy food accessibility is an issue that affects thousands of New Jerseyans. Many rely on the local neighborhood store for groceries because a supermarket isn’t in close proximity. Unfortunately, many of these stores don’t carry healthy foods. When fresh produce and healthy options aren’t available for purchase, families are forced to consume foods …
Dear Al, The “attacks” your piece referenced were not “random”. They were well-planned, ideological and lethal. More are clearly in store. If the attacks reflect that “The fabric of American culture is changing” and “giving way to new and different religious beliefs”, the possibility that these changes might not necessarily be for the better deserves …
Dear Editor: The holidays are upon us and it is the time of giving. The giving of gifts, the giving of time, the giving of goodwill…and most importantly, the giving of thanks. As a volunteer, I want to thank every person who has supported the American Heart Association | American Stroke Association. Perhaps it’s a …
Dear Editor: In celebrating Frank Sinatra’s 100th birthday, (born December 12, 1915), the list of notables grows longer with each passing year.

Without runoffs you end up with a situation where someone could win an election with as little as 34 percent of the vote. What good is voter participation if that’s the result? It’s a situation that makes it …

Dear Editor: I am writing to express my anger and disappointment with Mr. Trump and his statements regarding Muslim Americans and quite frankly Muslims in general “dancing by the thousands in Jersey City” as the Twin Towers came crashing down. I was there you see in Jersey City Mayor Glenn D. Cunningham’s office that tragic …
Dear Editor: Do you have health insurance? More New Jerseyans than ever before do. Over a 30 month period since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) opened the federal insurance marketplace and expanded Medicaid, the uninsured population decreased by nearly half across the state. As striking as this may sound, these gains still fall short of …

Dear Editor: As difficult as it is in NJ to save for your retirement; the least you deserve is a financial advisor who not only works hard to protect and grow your assets but also puts your interest ahead of theirs. Unfortunately, legal loopholes allow some financial advisers to further their own financial interest instead. …

Dear Editor: In your local Hudson Reporter you listed October as “Latin Heritage Month”, but you did not mention a single word about October being “Italian Heritage Month.” I’d like to remind you of history: 1) We celebrate Columbus’ voyages across the Atlantic Ocean that initiated the European exploration and colonization of the Americas. Again, …
