Dear Editor: I am requesting my name not be used. As a retired UC employee, they still control my benefits, and I do not want to be retaliated against. In a recent letter to the editor, Union City Mayor and State Senator Brian P. Stack accused the Union City Reporter of being irresponsible for failing …

Dear Editor: Last year, Mr. Torres posed the question in the Aug 3. issue of The Jersey Journal: What’s to become of empty Blue Chapel? The article quotes Brian Stack, mayor of Union City, saying, “we are giving some thought to seeking historic landmark status for the property.” As of today, more than a year …

Dear Editor: Over the course of the last twelve months Senator Brian Stack has developed a close relationship with New Jersey Republicans. During last year’s Night Out Against Crime, Senator Stack walked the streets of Union City introducing then-candidate Chris Christie to Union City residents. During this year’s Night Out against Crime, Stack invited and …

Dear Editor: I read the article you wrote, and while it mentions the pro-legal stance, it clearly advocates for turning a blind eye towards people breaking and entering into the U.S. This is a crime and should be taken as serious as paying taxes, driving drunk and rape. Laws are meant to be respected and …
