Squabbling Republicans not needed in North Brunswick
First, the North Brunswick Republicans wanted to put a huge retail complex at the traffic circle, further clogging our roads and destroying our open space. Now they want to build a huge sports complex on the Otken farm. They can’t seem to get along with each other to work for the best interests of the…

Board, not Republicans, responsible for increase
I am responding to the latest letter (Oct. 11) from Joseph J. Brill Sr. For some reason, Brill thinks since the Republicans took control of the Township Council we have had increased taxes. If Brill doesn’t understand his tax bill, and obviously he doesn’t, I would be more than happy to explain to him the…

Housing should be affordable for seniors
The developer U.S. Home said it is going to build senior housing. Is it going to be affordable to the seniors or are the prices going to start at $200,000, which is not affordable to most seniors on fixed incomes? Who is really greedy — the builder selling these homes under the title of "senior…

Weekend inspires pride in high school’s vice principal
It has been two weeks since North Brunswick Township public schools celebrated "Pride Weekend." This event was tremendously important for the North Brunswick community. In the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Pride Weekend offered an opportunity to bring our schools and community together in the name of patriotism. Pride Weekend began with a…

Ryan, Barnhard care about future of North Brunswick
When are the people of North Brunswick going to wake up? We had 18 years of cover-up politics. The Democrats didn’t want their meetings televised because they didn’t want the public to see what went on. I’ve seen it all, heard it all. I attend most meetings. I asked for years, when Paul Matacera was…

Ryan, Barnhard will expel Democratic corruption
Marion Pigatore seems very concerned about the missing $10,000 deposit of taxpayer money being swept under the rug by the Republicans. Actually, Marion, it was never hidden from the public and our municipal employees are bonded and, therefore, the taxpayers will be reimbursed by the insurance company. This is unlike the Matacera Democrats who lost…

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…
