Dear Editor: The scaremongers have begun to dominate the debate over health care reform. They warn that President Obama’s plan would lead to “death panels.” That’s utter nonsense promulgated by those who don’t want any change.

Dear Editor: I attended the campaign kick off reception of the Take Back Secaucus Candidates. The candidates had to be pleased with the number that attended. One question that kept going through my mind as I observed some individuals, like myself, that had supported Dennis Elwell in his early political years. Why now were they …
Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Councilwoman, Dawn McAdam and Mayor Dennis Elwell for the kind and gracious help they provided last week after I experienced a kitchen fire in my home at the Kroll Heights senior building. A fire in one’s home is always an upsetting event, but it …
Dear Editor: You recently reported in all editions of the Hudson Reporter that work has begun on a $9 billion dollar trans-Hudson passenger rail tunnel for the ARC (Access to Region’s Core) program. It is appalling that NJ Transit and the Port Authority are allowed to squander billions of dollars on this poorly designed tunnel …
