The River Road Gateway I and II Redevelopment Plan, now online, has a very specific goal, Goal 3, to “preserve, enhance, complement and increase (the) historical character of the Borough.” I believe this should be THE OVERARCHING GOAL of any plan. We need to make concrete NOW how any plan will ...

New Jersey District 11 voters have an opportunity to send someone to Washington to represent us, and it is NOT Analilia Mejia!She is running on the Democrat ticket, but I highly suspect she is a Progressive Socialist.

The Westfield School Board, in an announcement that would make Pravda proud, just announced the passage of the 2026-2027 budget. The headline number of $146,733,614 completely shrouds the tax hit to Westfield residents. It is the same tactic used for past referendums to hide individual pain. As ...

It's hard to believe, but it is true. Some members of the town council, not all, are attempting to eliminate the disabled veteran's look back period the town has provided for years.
