  • Time to cast our ballots

    It is that time of year again to exercise our right to vote. Since Sept. 11, people all across the country have tried to find ways to help in these troubled days. Many immediately rolled up their sleeves and donated blood. Others gave of their time and money to try to help those less fortunate…

  • Former councilman endorses Chandlee, Weiss

    So the Republican majority on the North Brunswick Township Council is considering to refile for condemnation of the Otken farm. It seems as if there is just no end to the continued saga of injustice that a few ill-advised North Brunswick Republican political operatives will subject the Otken family and the taxpayers to in this…

  • Is open space plan really a front for sports complex?

    Is open space plan really a front for sports complex? I am absolutely outraged that four members of our Township Council, led by council President Peggy Scarillo and council Vice President Leo Ryan, voted once again to move forward with condemnation of the Otken farm. What makes it even worse, though, is the fact they…

  • Chandlee, Weiss to move N.B. forward

    Chandlee, Weiss to move N.B. forward It’s just got to stop. The fighting between Mayor David Spaulding and the Republican council members led by Peggy Scarillo and Leo Ryan just goes on and on. It’s not only costly to the town, but it takes away from so many important issues that should be discussed in…

  • Library, town suffer due to Republicans’ infighting

    The fighting continues between the mayor and the Township Council in North Brunswick, and the losers continue to be the citizens of the community.

  • Chandlee, Weiss will give needed representation

    I can’t believe the insulting political literature I received this week from Councilman Leo Ryan and his running mate, Dave Barnhard, attacking Democratic Township Council candidates Bruce Chandlee and Adam Weiss. The lies, distortions and personal attacks really speak volumes as to why the tenor of government in North Brunswick has become so nasty. I…

  • VEC endorses Guear, Greenstein for Assembly

    New Jersey Environmental Federation’s bipartisan political arm, the Vote Environment Committee (VEC) has endorsed Assemblywoman Linda Greenstein and Assemblyman Gary Guear for Assembly in the 14th Legislative District. All candidates portray themselves as environmentalists, but it’s VEC’s job to separate the believers from the perceivers. Whether it’s Greenstein or Guear’s positive record or their opponents’…

  • Victims of South Brunswick fire extend thanks

    We can’t begin to count our blessings after a fire consumed our sheds Oct. 14. While we were out, our spare refrigerator caught on fire and exploded, causing our shed to be engulfed in flames. Thanks to some quick action by our neighbors and a good Samaritan who stopped, the fire was quickly attended to…
