“My heartfelt sympathies go out to those families affected by Saturday’s earthquake,” said Mayor Brian P. Stack. “We will try to assist in any way we can.” Mayor Stack announced that the Union City Parking Authority would house a trailer to be used to collect canned goods.

  1. Lila Rojas u are an idiot for even asking that question. Did you even read the article???? They are RECEIVING donations for those who want to help. And they opened a hotline for families here who may need to locate families in Ecuador.

  9. Did Stacks get permission from his boss Christy? Since supporting his buddy Christy for Governor didn’t go over so well with the Latin community now he’s trying to pander to the Latin vote. He should go back to kissing the Governors boots and leave us to look for better options @ UC City Hall.
