  • Concerned citizens must vote yes Dec. 9

    Concerned citizens must vote yes Dec. 9 I just received my issue of the Monroe Township Board of Education’s School Story newsletter. Having read the Frequently Asked Questions section, I think they have left out one question: Why in the world would anyone vote against this bond referendum? I strongly urge Monroe residents who are…

  • Visit to school would change ‘no’ vote to ‘yes’

    This letter is a response to Victoria Bloodgood, the author of a recent letter to the editor ("Doesn’t Want To Be Made To Pay for New School," Sentinel, Nov. 6) regarding Monroe’s proposed school referendum on Dec. 9.

  • Time to work together for Jamesburg

    I was disappointed to read Democratic Party Chairman Bernie Long’s comments in the Sentinel regarding our campaign ("Jamesburg Voters Pick LaMantia," Nov. 6).
