Overmulching killing too many trees in South Brunswick
After many years of serving as chairperson of the South Brunswick Shade Tree Commission, I have passed the leadership on to the very capable Diane Leonard. As the new president of the N.J. Shade Tree Federation, I am hoping that the visibility of my new position will help me remedy a frustration that I was…

Mayor misguided over support of Democrats
Our mayor, David Spaulding, has been such a disappointment. He has backstabbed everyone that has worked hard to get him elected. It seems if you don’t follow and do what the mayor says, he finds a way to get you out by manipulation and lies. Darren Snediker, former director of Parks and Recreation, was set…

School bond should pass
We strongly urge North Brunswick voters to pass the high school expansion bond on Tuesday. The district has made quite a compelling case for the $29 million plan. In the first place, the expansion is needed to accommodate the 450-500 new students expected to attend classes in the facility. Second, the state is willing to…

Letter writers looked other way during Matacera regime
After reading the five letters signed by five registered Democrats in last week’s paper, as a former Democrat, I felt compelled to comment on a few ludicrous statements. Did Mary Ann Barrett-Jabs think Maureen Little should have cast a "yes" vote when she didn’t have the proper information? I know the two new council members,…

Past headlines speak volumes about Democrats
As a senior citizen and resident of North Brunswick for 40 years, I can’t help wondering why three senior citizens are now showing such concern about township affairs. I don’t remember Mary Ann Barrett-Jabs, Phyllis Morris or John Hennessey writing letters when North Brunswick made headlines for all the wrong reasons. For example, February 1999,…

Womack, not Little, tried to disrupt council proceedings
Anthony Tocci’s recent letter states "he hopes the township can rise above Maureen Little’s attempt to disrupt council proceedings." First of all, she was not given the courtesy of a phone call or the information promised her by Councilman Mack Womack with the names of committee appointees nor was she asked for names to put…
