  • Resident wants more bus service for her money

    I am a resident of North Brunswick who is receiving inadequate bus service for the fare charged. Many South Brunswick and Princeton residents and I are paying the highest bus fares ($70-$80 per week) with the least amount of service by Coach/Suburban. On May 3, for the third time in two to three years, an…

  • Visit center during National Senior Center Week

  • ‘Iron fist rule’ must be eliminated in North Brunswick

    I read Michael Bacorn’s letter last week, and I must say that Gary Hirsch is not the issue. It doesn’t really matter if someone has coached a youth sports team or has children in the school system. As a matter of fact, the issue of being a youth sports coach shouldn’t matter in the political…

  • ‘Glitch’ at voting booths dismays North Brunswick resident

    Tuesday, being part of a very small number of registered voters, my husband and I went to the polls to cast our vote on the school budget. There was a "computer glitch," as they called it, and many signatures were omitted on the voting sheet. My husband’s signature was one of those omitted. To vote,…
