Dear Editor: What’s the big secret? Why is this newspaper forced to submit a written request similar to a Federal Level Freedom of Information Act just to find out whether or not our local elected commissioners in Union City are receiving free health benefits even though as part time employees they are not supposed to …
Dear Editor: After months and months of asking Union City Mayor and State Senator Brian Stack to hold a public meeting about his plans for building a multipurpose field in Park No. 3 in Washington Park, the meeting was held (with only a few days notice) on Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 7 p.m. at the …

Dear Editor: This Monday, PATH riders began paying even more for their daily commute. It’s a shame, during these difficult times that working families will be squeezed even harder by toll hikes and fare increases. What is especially disparaging is that a package of reforms to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey …

Our Alzheimer’s Walk is on Saturday, September 29th and since Gennarose’s story was published we have tripled our donations. We are almost in the National Top Ten. It is mainly due …
Dear Editor: Union City, just like every other city in New Jersey, has one physical building that acts as the city hall on 37th street and Palisade Avenue. For residents who live uptown the trip over to city hall is just a few blocks away. However, this is not the case for the majority of …
Dear Editor: We need to give additional thought to the Grand Prix race scheduled to come to West New York and Weehawken in 2013. The organizers claim this race would be a boon for the local economy, bringing in $100 million. But I think this is a big gamble disguised by overly optimistic advertising. Take …

Dear Editor: Memory at 82 may be a real problem. Not all the times, but some times. Our dear old man Clint forgot to bring more chairs that day. He needed them for each and all of the VP’s and Senior VP’s of Lehman Brothers (the beginning of the end). For the fat boys of …
Dear Editor: On 9/11/12, my dear father Corrado Salvemini lost his battle with Alzheimer’s. He was 81 years old.
