The End of Property Rights and Civil Rights in America? I’ve told you how the Big Banks were robbing your pension funds with no plans of paying you back and lent your money to fund the mortgages on homes that they are now stealing through foreclosure with forged and fabricated documents in Courts everyday.

Back to School It’s back to school. Students bring their notebooks, pencils, papers – teachers bring their lesson plans, Tylenol, Excedrin, and Aspirin. My nephew prefers young teachers. He thinks it’s fun to watch them age. Well! Summer vacations are over at last. Parents go back to work, kids go back to school, teachers go […]

Letter to the Editor: Response to Bringing Back Foot Patrols

This is in response to the article on Bring Back Neighborhood Foot Patrols Amboy Guardian 8-27-14 page 1. Well, sounds like a good idea.

Letter to the Editor: Crackdown on Illegal Students in Bound Brook

I read in the Home News editor’s view on the crack-down of illegal students by the Borough of Bound Brook, dated August 27, 2014. It seems that Bound Brook is returning to the days of the wild, wild west, bounty hunters and all, only this time the targets are not outlaws, but children whose only […]

Letter to the Editor: Statement on the Celotex Property

After reading last week’s Guardian, it seems as if the Celotex property is off limits to the Board of Education for creation of a new high school according to the City. By whose authority does this come from? It couldn’t be the Mayor or the Business Administrator or even the Council because that would be […]

Letter to the Editor: Transparency and the Truth

“Transparency” – the condition of being transparent. Trans-par+nt: tran’spe(e)rent – Honest and Open – Not Secretive. This is what the Diaz administration and some of the current City Council members ran on when they were campaigning. Unfortunately that is not what is being provided, and that is a shame! We have a city that I […]

Letter to the Editor: The Showman with No Answers

When Christie came to our fair city before he ran for governor he had the highest regard and respect. We regarded him as a knight on a white horse who slew the many corrupt dragons. Although we had to stretch our imagination to find a horse big and strong enough to carry him. Now we […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: Judicial Vacancies

The current problem with a shortage of judges shows a flaw in the NJ State Constitution. Adjoining states never have this problem because their judges are elected to a fixed term. A similar problem with US Senators led to the adoption of the XVII Amendment to allow popular election of US Senators. That has worked […]

COMMUNITY VOICE: Ferries and the Governor

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie may remember the Springsteen song’s lyrics, In My Hometown, and how Bruce roamed about Main Street in Freehold as a youngster in pops Buick and as a 35 year old honing his song.
