  • Flood of studies yields little action on flooding

    It seems chronic flooding is becoming more and more common in New Jersey. To his credit, Gov. Jon Corzine recently proposed a set of important regulatory changes to address the problem. Until now, the state has produced a flood of studies and recommendations and a corresponding drought of real policy change. The most recent report…

  • Coury uses innuendo, half-truths instead of facts

    Frank Coury is becoming more of an amusement than a nuisance. The issues he raises have been aired and answered through his many times in front of the East Brunswick Township Council. I, personally, have found that the Neary administration is open to ideas and discussions of any issues of concern. So what is Mr.…

  • Help secure passage of hit-and-run law

    I am asking the citizens of the state of New Jersey to help me get “Skinner’s and Michelle’s Law” passed through the Senate and signed into law by our governor. Almost three years ago on Nov. 14, 2003, my father, Lawrence R. Skinner Sr., was working on the Brandriff Avenue Bridge in Millville. He was…

    Gang summit is a step in the right direction Greg Bean Sometimes, it’s up to guys like me to say things others are reluctant to speak out about in the public forum, and today is one of those days. The fact is that gang activity has been on the upswing in many of our central…

  • Unenforced laws cause disruption in lives of residents

    I’m very disappointed to see the indifferent attitude expressed at public meetings by East Brunswick Mayor William Neary and the Township Council to the pleas of the residents. People come to the council meetings to voice their concerns over conditions, which, if not corrected, negatively impact their quality of life. Many residents are inconvenienced by…

  • ‘This investigation will not stop with Lynch’

    Once again it comes as no surprise to anyone that another New Jersey corrupt politician pleads guilty to taking kickbacks. The one issue that needs further exploration by the U.S. Attorney is the ties between Monroe’s Mayor Richard Pucci and former state Sen. Sen. John Lynch. The fact that an admitted felon paid our mayor…

  • Double-dipping becoming a way of life in New Jersey

    I had to laugh when I read the story about East Brunswick Mayor William Neary being against making the mayor’s post full time (Sentinel, Sept. 14). Of course he would be against doing this. First of all, he would lose money since he holds the part-time mayor’s post at $20,000 a year along with his…

  • Efforts of many went into making 9/11 memorial a reality

    I write to thank the many individuals and community organizations that worked to make the moving Spotswood 9/11 Memorial a reality. I also wish to thank the many members of the Spotswood community who gathered together for our dedication and commemoration ceremony on Sept. 11. Photos of the evening’s activities should soon appear on the…
