Ryan, Barnhard care about future of North Brunswick

Parasitic Dems don’t deserve another 20 years

Board, not Republicans, responsible for increase
     I am responding to the latest letter (Oct. 11) from Joseph J. Brill Sr. For some reason, Brill thinks since the Republicans took control of the Township Council we have had increased taxes.
