Dear Editor: I would like to comment on a recent story published in your paper titled “Readers respond to First Amendment debate.” I am outraged and truly alarmed by the conduct of Mayor Stack/ Chief Everett. The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently ruled that political speech is given greater protection under the constitution than other …
Dear Editor: I just came upon your website, and remembered my visits to my grandparents in 1968 and 1970 in Union City. They immigrated from postwar Nuremberg in the early 1950s. By working hard, they bought a brick house at Hudson Avenue where they lived until the 1980s. As a 5 year old boy I …

Dear Editor: I am writing to thank publicly Dr. Montserrat Zalis and other staff of Union City Animal Clinic. Recently due to an urgent medical condition, I had to put to sleep my precious Fluffy, a tan-and-white Jack Russell terrier, who was twelve years old. It was the first time I ever had to make …
Dear Editor: I’m responding to Melissa’s sweet and thoughtful letter (12/13/09) where she’s “not debating marriage equity” and then proceeds – in an extra long column – to debate marriage “equity.” By which she turns the word “marriage,” which since the history of humankind has meant the union of a man and woman on its …

Dear Editor: I would like to thank Ms. Joyce Fetterman for her compassion, patience, and endurance with our city’s very poor management of stray animals, whether they be sick, injured or not. Her story points out the serious problem Union City and the surrounding area has with strays and feral cats. I applaud her time …

Dear Editor: We are three parents of children at Union City’s Woodrow Wilson School, a public school we cherish for its nationally recognized arts-focused curriculum and first-rate administration and staff. On November 19 we attempted to attend the public meeting of the Union City Board of Education to get an update on the recently begun …

Dear Editor: As a young officer of Citibank, in the mid 1980s, I was sent to a week-long course, called “Managing People for Middle Managers.” (We called it Management Boot Camp!) It was a course for those on the “fast track” in Citibank; people the bank determined were going to be the next line of …
