Council wasted $19 million, not $70K, claims resident
I read with great interest, an article that showed our Township Council wasted $70,000 on an engineering study to outline a plan to spend $19 million over the next 13 years, to keep our road system in North Brunswick in good shape. You may wonder why I say "wasted $70,000" since, on the surface, it…

Pappas and Goldstein are ‘a team you can trust’ in Nov. As a former Democrat and supporter of Democratic Mayor Paul Matacera, I have a real problem when I read letters from Democratic committeemen saying North Brunswick now needs a two-party government.

Resident disturbed by ‘bail bonds’ sign in town
I was coming home from the movies the other night when I noticed a new business on Route 130 near Cozzens Lane: "Bail Bonds, 24 hours!" Actually, you couldn’t help notice it as the neon sign blazed into the night. Having lived in North Brunswick three years, I didn’t even know we had a prison…
