N.B. council shouldn’t be suing Zoning Board over housing project
I am disgusted with the fact that the North Brunswick Township Council is filing a lawsuit against the Zoning Board in an attempt to block the construction of senior housing on Cozzens Lane. It makes no sense as to why the governing body would go to such extremes — and even pay an attorney $6,000…

Our View
Rezoning scheme a waste of time Our View Rezoning scheme a waste of time The South Brunswick Township Council is wasting its time considering a zoning change. After spending some two hours Tuesday night discussing a zoning change to a piece of property bordering East Brunswick, the council decided to table the final vote until…

Resident says Democrats will take North Brunswick into the future
In my last letter to the Sentinel, I asked a few simple questions concerning Mr. Gary Hirsch — What does he do? How did he get his job? What does he do for the township? Mr. Hirsch never replied. However, Mr. Bob Long did, and Mr. Long did not answer these questions. So, in this…

Reform Democrats courageous to take on Dem. Party
Reform Democrats courageous to take on Dem. Party It’s probably not surprising, but the last few letters I have seen written on behalf of George Shamy don’t deal with issues or records. Instead, they try to personally impugn the Reform Democrats who have the courage to take on Vito Puleio and the North Brunswick Democratic…

Ex-Democrat urges N.B. residents to vote Republican
Ex-Democrat urges N.B. residents to vote Republican At the last North Brunswick Township Council meeting (May 1), a Democratic council "wannabe" said to all the Democratic council that "she considers some of the people on the council to be Republicans." If you consider the history of the Democratic Party, I think she gave them a…

Hartland zoning suit baffles North Brunswick resident
I am honestly baffled by the North Brunswick Township Council’s action to sue its own Zoning Board over the proposed adult rental community off Hartland Commons. Apparently the political season is upon us with a vengeance. Those running for office see votes in blocking any new development within the town. In this particular instance, they…

Political abuse of photo ops are nothing new
Deborah Koster’s letter on May 8 concerning Councilman Francis "Mac" Womack’s photo op with the North Brunswick Fire Department leads me to raise similar concerns about President Bush’s recent photo op on the USS Abraham Lincoln. President George Bush’s jet landing was entirely staged as a mega ego trip. The ship was within helicopter range;…
