To the Editor, Asbury Park Sun, I have only once  written a “Letter to the Editor” before. I’m not a political person. But I am a resident and taxpayer in Asbury Park. I believe in fiscal responsibility and expect the same from those that we elect. That’s why I am angered and offended by an […]

To the Editor, Asbury Park Sun, Grace and I will be voting for NICOLLE HARRIS for the Asbury Park Board of Education on April 19th. Although it was many, many years ago, we remember when we were her age. We too had a passionate love for our community. We of course lived in racially segregated communities where our […]

Editor, Asbury Park Sun, Sadly the 2016 Deal Lake Commission [DLC], which is the custodian of the lake, still does not have the answer to this question I asked at the March 17, 2016 Public Hearing on their 2016 Deal Lake Master Plan. Each Commissioner to the DLC represents their respective community: Allenhurst, Deal, Asbury […]

Editor, Asbury Park Sun, If you read the headlines of last week’s triCityNews, you’d get a visual of some environmental folks on one side of a park and some angry skateboarders on the other, waiting for the referee’s whistle, before charging full steam at one another in some primitive “winner take all event”.

Asbury Park streets are unsafe for everyone, including those in cars. Every day, residents and visitors move through the city […]

Editor, Asbury Park Sun, When Asbury Park’s last open space natural resource north beach area, Bradley Cove, is viewed solely as a source of profit and gain, there are serious consequences to our earth and peoples. This vision engenders immense economic inequality, injustices and can provoke acts of violence against the majority of humanity and our natural […]

Editor, Asbury Park Sun, The elected officials of Asbury Park have done it again! Just when the news about Asbury had been overwhelmingly  positive – the renovation of the former Salvation Army building;  the possibility of a new hotel/condo on the old C8 site; the restoration of the Zombie Walk by Johnny Mac; a wonderful, […]

Editor, Asbury Park Sun, I am writing in response to the Asbury Park Sun article published on September 11, 2015 entitled Beach Replenishment Heads North to Elberon.  I would like to respond to two statements in the article in which many local residents may share a different viewpoint. First, the article mentions that several rock […]

This week, the Asbury Park Sun received additional Letters to the Editor regarding the appointments of new library board members and the sudden resignation of its president Don Stine.
