Dear Editor: Over the past weeks unfounded rumors have been circulating concerning me and the upcoming November 2009 election. First let me set the record straight.

Dear Editor: I believe the citizens of Secaucus should be grateful to have Tom Roarty running for our School Board of Education. Tom regularly attends Board meetings and questions the Board’s decisions on how our tax dollars are spent. He was persistent in questioning the creation of a new Assistant Superintendent’s position.
