  • Students lose due to officials’ ineptitude, spending abuses

    This letter is in response to your editorial, “Town Officials Must Act on Message From Voters,” that appeared in the May 4 issue of the Sentinel. The notion that the voters have spoken regarding the recent school budget defeat is really a bit absurd. I would submit that if we laid out the entire budget…

    Guest Column Voting down budget costs dearly in long run Bernard Prohaska’s letter to the editor attacking the East Brunswick school budget as being “overbloated” (“Charge Residents a School Tax Based on Use,” Sentinel, Letters to the Editor, May 4) shows his complete lack of understanding of the situation. He wants us to contact the…

  • Let gov. know there is no up side to self-serve gasoline

    Gov. Jon Corzine is totally out of touch. In New Jersey, we like not pumping our own gasoline. We like not standing out in the wind, rain, hail to save an elusive 5 cents a gallon. And, when there was the sniper in the Washington, D.C., area, I felt so much more secure for my…

    It only seems like $8 million ago that my husband and I admired our eldest as he rode his cheap little Hot Wheel down the walk. Vernon was so small back then, so innocent, so easy to please, and so gosh darned inexpensive. Well, pass the time and check the bank statements, Honey, cuz those…

  • Dedicated state income tax should fund education

    We need tax reform now, not two years from now. After reading the newspaper reports regarding Gov. Jon Corzine’s approach to the high, regressive property tax problem, I frankly got the impression the problem won’t be studied for another two years. It appears that Gov.
