Dear Editor, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of the 26,000 plus voters of Hudson County who cast their ballot on my behalf for the Office of Sheriff in this General Election of Nov. 2, 2010. My team and I are extremely gratified, overwhelmed, and appreciative for your support and your concern …

Dear Editor: I’d like to suggest further action for the former Blue Chapel which Mayor Stack and Commissioner Fernandez both affirm as worthy of a significant historical claim of respect. Recently Commissioner Fernandez spoke about Union City’s “historical marker plan” and this aired on cablevision’s Neighborhood Journal. This presumes that funding and a systematic program …
Dear Editor: After reading Mayor Stack’s self serving statement on preserving landmark status within Union City, I was compelled to jump on my computer and fire off a response. His statement that his administration has done more to preserve historic landmarks in Union City is absurd. This is the same mayor and board of commissioners …

Dear Editor: In keeping with my custom of expressing generous praise, let me single out the 43rd Street Public Library in Union City. During this Halloween weekend, I was surprised by a “treat,” if you will, courtesy of the library. A street window there features a “Down Memory Lane” display of black-and-white photographs of charming …

Dear Editor: My name is Amber Lee Ettinger and I am a resident of West New York. I have an issue and was curious to see if you could help me out. This past summer – July 1, 2010 to be exact – I was moving from The Grandview to Bulls Ferry. During the process …
Dear Editor: The upcoming Congressional election on Nov. 2 is going to decide the future path our nation will take. Will we choose to continue on the current path of increased spending, debt and higher taxes, which has led to high unemployment, business closings and frustration? Or will we chose reform, lower taxes, and incentives …
Dear Editor: Once again, Mayor Stack has shown that rather than face the issues, he would prefer to engage in character assassination. I am referring to Mayor Stack’s recent response to Mr. Francisco Nunez’s letter to the editor in regard to government patronage. Firstly, I read Mr. Nunez’s letter, and he is absolutely correct in …
Dear Editor: This last week I directed my volunteer staff to reach out to the Albio Sires campaign to schedule a debate, so that the voters of the 13th Congressional District could hear both of our positions on the issues facing us in this very important election. Regrettably and, typically, Mr. Sires has indicated through …
Dear Editor: Today, I express my family’s advocacy for Frank Schillari in the Nov. 2 election for Hudson County Sheriff. We urge all our friends out there to write a note on their calendar and remember to vote. We back Schillari not because he is a Democrat or the fact that Nick Sacco, who we’ve …

Dear Editor: I have long appreciated Al Sullivan’s work detailing local news and political happenings. Unfortunately, Mr. Sullivan’s columns tend to lose their trademark perspicacity when he departs his natural depth of one-party Hudson County to address statewide matters. Mr. Sullivan is quite clearly a fierce partisan. It is very likely that his partisanship matches …
