  • Little should exercise caution while in office

    I thought the people of North Brunswick spoke loud and clear in last November’s election that we want our governing officials to stop attacking each other. Unfortunately, Councilwoman Maureen Little seems not to have gotten the message, if her comments and actions of the past two weeks are any indication. Keep it up, Little. Remember,…

    During the early Thanks for quick response of first aid, police morning hours of Christmas Day, we had a family medical emergency at our home. If it were not for the prompt response of Officer Tom Vingara of the North Brunswick Police Department, and the North Brunswick First Aid Squad, this medical emergency may have…

  • 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…

  • North Brunswick school referendum best option for taxpayers

    On Tuesday, Jan. 22, the voters of North Brunswick will decide the fate of the bond referendum which will be used to fund additions and renovations at the high school. The improvements to the high school are needed based on demographic studies that indicate the high school population will increase by more than 500 students…

  • Obituaries

    Greater Media Newspapers prints obituaries as a free community service, at no charge to the families of the deceased or to the funeral homes that provide the information. DOROTHY I. BOSSONG WHITE FREH, 89, of North Brunswick died Jan. 3 at Bridgeway Care Center, Bridgewater. Born in New Brunswick, she resided in Sayreville and New…

  • Records bill a victory

    Even after being tweaked several times during the last year, the new public records bill is finally the law. There are some changes to the initial draft of the bill that we first saw last year; however, public access reform was desperately needed. The law will now allow all of us the opportunity to see…

  • Decision for Democratic council majority a right one

    After watching the Township Council reorganization last week, I am even more sure the voters’ decision to put the council majority in the hands of the Democrats was the right one. Councilwoman Maureen Little started off the day by voting against Mack Womack and Carlo Socio for council president and vice president, and then continued…
