To all CCHS Fans and Supporters:

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank everyone for the support and generosity you have shown Cedar Creek High School and our students. There is no manner in which a school without community support, or a community without a school to rally around, can achieve individually what is possible when working collectively.

To the editor:

I found a letter from the Dec. 29 edition of The Current from Mr. Robert E. McNulty of Egg Harbor Township interesting for its perverse logic and perspective.

Under the formula proposed by Sen. Michael Doherty, Egg Harbor Township would gain several million dollars in additional aid.  Why would an Egg Harbor Township resident be so vociferously against this and so supportive of unelected activist judges usurping the legislative prerogatives under our constitution?

To the editor:
A school referendum is scheduled for Dec. 13. Its purpose is to approve needed repairs and upgrades to both Absegami and Oakcrest high schools. The need is evident, especially given the age of the Oakcrest building.
There is a further urgency to this referendum being approved. New Jersey has awarded the district a onetime grant that will cover 57 percent of the cost of the work. If we were looking for a home improvement loan for similar work and learned that a third party was willing to pony up this much of the cost, it would be a no-brainer. We’d go for it.

To the editor:

As a candidate whose name was left off the vote by mail ballot two years in a row, I am writing this to urge people to vote for change in the Atlantic County clerk’s office.

In 2009, I ran for an elected position in Buena Vista Township. In June 2009 the Republican candidate withdrew from the race after the primary. I was selected as the replacement candidate.

To the editor:

A letter in your Sept. 2 edition laments redistribution of wealth as a disincentive to produce wealth. To some extent that is true, but although they may disagree on what tax rates should be, virtually all economists agree that some redistribution of wealth is not only healthy for an economy, but necessary.

Healthy distribution of wealth through taxes, etc. is essential for the middle class to thrive and therefore continue to spend, which drives the economy. Tax rates now, especially on the very wealthy, are the lowest they have been in many decades. Wealthy investors can make many millions by investing in stock (no jobs created I might add) and pay only 15 percent capital gains tax rate on that money. (Pushing this rate down to 15 was done under Bush 2). Add a comment
