  • 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

    I am surprised you would take my expression of sympathy and try to misrepresent it as some sort of slight against the taxpayers of North Brunswick.

While these Republican candidates for…

  • Litigious week in North Brunswick

    It’s been an eventful week in North Brunswick, what with the township announcing its plans to sue former township appraiser Anthony Billings, and Virgo’s owner Paul Golden announcing he’s going to sue the township. Township officials, as might be expected, are angry that the former appraiser might get off too lightly following a plea bargain…
