Dear Editor: It’s that time again when we tend to hear discussions about New Year’s resolutions. Eating healthier, going to the gym, cutting back on sweets. Resolutions are passionately set, but as winter drags on, we slowly fall off the wagon. Suddenly the gym is less crowded and the lines for fast food are longer …
Dear Editor: Once again, it’s time for New Year’s resolutions, particularly those to improve our diet and exercise routine. Although gun violence and traffic accidents remain the leading causes of death among young people, the most dangerous weapon for the rest of us is still our fork. Well over a million of us are killed …
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: 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: As part of World Stroke Day, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association is asking New Jersey to sing a tune that could save lives. The F.A.S.T.

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, …
Dear Editor: McDonald’s pledge to start using cage-free eggs is only a small step in preventing staggering suffering endured by millions of birds. Hatcheries that annually supply 200 million female hens for U.S. egg production, including cage-free, also kill the same number of male chicks at birth by grinding them up alive in industrial macerators …
Dear Editor: On behalf of the Town Council and myself, I would like to thank everyone for coming out to the 4th Annual “Secaucus Restaurant Night”. Despite the rain, we had a great turn out, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. This year was the largest turn out yet with 27 restaurants enticing us with their …
Dear Editor: New Jersey can’t pay its debts. Our credit rating has been downgraded multiple times. We can’t finance good retirements or new projects and programs, and our high interest rates means we’re paying a ton to the banks. Recently, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled it could not force the Christie administration to fully …
