“Democrats are going to be a little bit on our heels again, trying to protect the progress that we’ve made,” Simon said, “against efforts to redefine obscenity, to limit access to educational materials and to elevate the desires of some parents under the guise of ‘parental rights’ over what’s really best for students and parents all

This is why the NJ Legislature must redefine anti-Semitism

Anti-Semitic incidents have been on the rise in New Jersey. Condemnation of all forms of Jew-hatred is necessary and important, but not enough. Education and dialogue are needed to address Jew-hatred in New Jersey.

Strafford County commissioners tout transparency of nursing home plan

We read with great interest Rep. Len Turcotte’s guest column in Foster’s Daily Democrat. Rep. Turcotte is clearly misinformed regarding the county nursing home project. Perhaps this is because he failed to attend a nearly three-hour workshop where many of his negative comments were addressed.

The architect and cost estimator were present at the workshop and answered questions from delegates who joined us both in the room and remotely that Rep. Turcotte suggested were unanswered. This project is no different from other county projects where all aspects of the work will be subject to competitive bidding to control costs.
