  • Democrats restored peace and quiet to S.B.

    Democrats restored peace and quiet to S.B. Web sites are great, as I read the "new" twist by the Republicans of South Brunswick. Enough! To quote: "While we’re stuck in traffic, we see building going on unabated. When we’re enjoying a day off with our families, our peace and quiet is shattered." Having lived in…

  • Mayor Matacera left residents up the creek with water epic

    It appears from the Sept. 26 edition of the Sentinel that the North Brunswick Democrats began their campaign. Back-to-back letters to the editor applaud the recent efforts of the current council. I will delay my applause until after I receive my next four to six water bills. Certainly my next bill will be significantly lower.…

  • Keep two-party system in No. Brunswick; vote line ‘b’ on Election Day

    Keep two-party system in No. Brunswick; vote line ‘b’ on Election Day After reading Jackee Raciti’s letter (Sept. 28), I agree with her only statement that made any sense, and that was when she said, "I hope that come Election Day, the people of North Brunswick think hard about the difference in the way this…

  • No. Brunswick’s water bills still higher than other towns’

    Attention, all local chiropractors! Be on alert for a deluge of new business. The local Democratic hacks in North Brunswick are out in force, patting themselves on the back.

  • New ballots too expensive for New Jersey’s voters

Torricelli’s actions, which caused the reprimand, did not disqualify him as the Democratic candidate. However, now Sen. Torricelli has evidently committed the ultimate sin. He can’t win the election. Ethics didn’t matter…

  • Land purchase not right

    It is not right that the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders spent $11 million to purchase land and development rights from another public body. The fever to purchase open space has obviously taken a twist. The purchase of 582 acres of land and the rights to another 518 acres, all in Old Bridge but…

  • Milltown council vote may prompt lawsuit

    Milltown council vote may prompt lawsuit The Milltown Borough Council made a bold move Monday night, voting to prohibit fast-food restaurants from being built on lots if part of the lot is within a residential zone.

  • Senior citizen thanks council Democrats for new water contract

    As a senior citizen resident of North Brunswick, I would like to thank the Democratic members of the North Brunswick Township Council for looking out for those on a fixed income.
