  • The Grinch tried to steal one grandfather’s Christmas

    My grandfather, a retired civil servant and World War II veteran, recently received a notice from the Hickory Ridge Condominium Association requiring him to take down all his exterior holiday decorations. On top of this, the association required his neighbor, also a World War II veteran, to take down the American flag that he put…

  • 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…

  • 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,…

  • 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…

  • 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…
