  • Budget should be supported

    Budget should be supported While the proposed South Brunswick school bud-get contains a substantial tax increase, we support it.

  • Resident voices support for council geese initiative

    Your editorial on Feb. 26 regarding geese in North Brunswick is right on target. You state very accurately, "The goose problem in central New Jersey is not a laughing matter." Yet you poke fun at the township for trying to get the geese to move elsewhere. While picnicking in the park, would you rather hear…

    Resident urges support of Rte. 92 legislation A lot of things have changed since the state gave the N.J. Turnpike Authority control over Route 92 in the early 1990s. For one thing, the cost has significantly escalated. Four hundred million dollars is an unacceptable amount for a highway that will end up being less than…

  • Writer gives Puleio ‘credit where credit is due

    Although I have never been a fan of North Brunswick Demo-cratic Chairman Vito Puleio, I believe in giving credit when credit is due. To say Puleio built the Democratic Party in North Brunswick is an understatement — if it weren’t for Puleio, North Brunswick would probably still have a Republican council, which is what I…
