  • North Brunswick resident praises mayor and council

    I had the chance to hear North Brunswick Mayor David Spaulding speak three times recently: at the American Legion memorial service, at the Veterans of Foreign War service, and during the Memorial Day parade. And each time he spoke with emotion and sincerity about the meaning of the day. I was quite impressed by his…

  • Residents thank N.B. firefighters for quick response

    Copy of letter to the chief of the North Brunswick Fire Department, Engine Company No. 3. A few weeks ago our home was struck by lightning.

  • Matacera feels his intentions were misinterpreted

  • NJ Transit chief is out of touch with South Brunswick residents

    I am shocked at the chutzpah shown by NJ Transit Director Jeff Warsh, in his recent comments about the Middlesex-Ocean-Monmouth [MOM] rail line.
