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: 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: 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 …

Dear Editor: Please allow me to respond to a letter that appeared in the Sept. 26 edition of the Union City Reporter, submitted by Jorge Cruz and entitled “What took so long, Mayor Stack?” Also, I’ll use this opportunity to respond to a news brief from the prior week’s edition, by Staff Reporter Lana Rose …

Dear Editor: I was so moved after reading the story of Ms. Connie Virulet, the subject of “Spar Power” in the Fall 2010 edition of Palisade Magazine. Mother of four beautiful children. Massage Therapist. College Student. Eminent Pro Boxer. OMG! The reader becomes keenly aware of her triumphs and her travails, her courage and her …
Dear Editor: Thank you for publishing my letter “Praying for landmark status for Blue Chapel” (9/6). I am pleased that the online letter to date has received 500 views, and I think this is a measure of the interest the community and Hudson County residents have in The Blue Chapel. I thank each and every …
