I did not grow up in Nutley. My husband did not grow up in Nutley, but we are happy our children are growing up here. As someone who grew up in a NYC borough, I can tell you the taxes are low but the education is lackluster. The schools are overcrowded and way underfunded and there is nothing ...

To the Editor, I wanted to share my perspective as a 10 year tax paying resident of Nutley in regard to the revised Referendum. When we moved here 10 years ago, before we had children, I remember how proud long time residents were of the school system. Even though, at the time, it wasn’t ...
