Dear Editor: The following truth is why T. Weed wrote, “I wept with joy.” (The Douay Challoner Text; Genesis 1:3) “In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth.” God said “Let there be light” and there was light. Scientists claim that the universe was created by the Big Bang, which was a very great …

Dear Editor: The reason I am writing is, this person who calls himself T. Weed and this other person whose name is Otto Hottendorf, what are you two trying to say? Speak English because I as a reader of the Hudson Reporter, have no idea what you two are talking about. And furthermore, when I …
Dear Editor: Next Saturday, March 4, the Hoboken St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee will once again celebrate with a wonderful parade. It is a great day for the city of Hoboken as this parade has become one of the premier events in the state of New Jersey. As the first Grand Marshal of the 21st …

Dear Editor: Portions of the front page of your last issue certainly proves this city is moving forward (vacancy decontrol aside.) Thanks to many past and present elected officials, community activists, The Hoboken Waterfront Corporation, two successful referendums in the early 1990s and most certainly the outstanding work of The Applied Companies.

When you rinse away all the hogwash, what this new ordinance does …

Dear Editor: In response to the letter posted about our public housing authority tenants last week, I say, “HHA residents will never go away and surely they have grown up.” I am insulted that such a person would take a cheap shot at the struggle that goes on in our public housing. Unfortunately, ignorance can …
Dear Editor: I write in response to T. Jones who demeaned the tenants of Hoboken Housing Authority last week in what can only be classified as ignorance at its very worst. It is apparent T. Jones has never been in any of the homes of the people he has judged so distastefully. If Jones knew …

Dear Editor: As an Executive Board member of Hoboken Chapter of N.A.A.C.P. who is protector of all people’s human rights, I must respond to the letter of T. Jones – HHA tenants whiny, lazy (Hoboken Reporter editorial, February 20, 2000). It saddens me to know that today, in the year of 2000, as we approach …
