  • Supporting Fedun for Assembly

    Ted Merrit of Montgomery     I have known Mike Fedun and his family for over 40 years.

  • Unfair charges from Montgomery Republicans

    Rob Sparno of Montgomery     As I peruse the expensive mailings coming from Frank Drift and his team – the Republican Party’s candidates for Montgomery Township ComMittee, I am struck by a few things:    Placing blame for high property taxes squarely on Louise Wilson, they conveniently ignore that the development and other factors that define…

Many of these officials were, in fact, dual office holders.    ”Double dipping” contributes…

  • For Drift, Graham and Dyer in Montgomery

    Bob Kress of Montgomery     Montgomery residents have a big problem and it starts with the letter “D” which stands for debt and also for Democrats. The two cannot be separated.    In the last six years, Montgomery Democrats have repeatedly chanted their self-serving mantra of fiscal responsibility as a means of getting re-elected. At best,…
