Helmetta mayor, council govern conscientiously
Please tell me how someone who has only attended two Helmetta Borough Council meetings feels qualified to be judge and jury of the governing body?

Did balance of power exist in prior E.B. administration? In response to Edward P. Trzaska’s letter to the editor ("Wants To End One-Party Government in East Brunswick") in the Oct. 4 issue of the Sentinel, I would like to ask Mr. Trzaska a few questions.

Resident is concerned about contamination on 6th Street
As a longtime resident of East Brunswick, I am disturbed about the activities taking place on the Sixth Street property which was formerly used as the school bus/transit lot.
