  • Dan Haughton for PRSD school board

    Lisa Paine of Princeton     I enthusiastically ask Princeton Township residents to come out and vote for Dan Haughton and our school budget in the April 15 election.    I have known Dan and his family for over 15 years. Both of our families have had children in Princeton Regional’s elementary, middle and high schools. Dan…

  • Vote yes on Princeton school budget

    Dorothy Bedford, JoAnn Cunningham & Joshua Leinsdorf of Princeton     We are asking Princeton residents to please vote “Yes” for the school tax levy on April 15.

Education spending…

    Marrio Carrandi of Montgomery     Eric Fair’s comments about the use of “torture” with the enemy is simply rubbish. I am deeply surprised they are coming from an ex-serviceman.    It seems that Mr. Fair forgot the fact that almost 7,000 Americans have perished since the 9-11 attack, carried out directly or indirectly, by many of…

  • Save Congo from euthanization

    Maria Vitucci of Montvale     This dog should not be euthanized. How dare they even think of doing something like that to a dog who was just protecting his family. Would they euthanize a human for doing that? No.    Just like it is our instinct to protect our loved ones, the same for a dog…

  • Dan Haughton for Princeton school board

    Ann Burns of Princeton     I encourage all Princeton Township residents to come out and vote for Dan Haughton for school board on April 15.    Dan and his wife Nell have been residents of Princeton since 1982, and their three daughters have attended the Princeton pubic schools since kindergarten. A graduate of Vanderbilt and Harvard…
