Glen Rock, NJ, the growing issue of check theft from local mailboxes has reached a troubling new point, with two recent reports confirming that checks were stolen directly from the mailbox located in front of the Glen Rock Post Office.
I’m reaching out to request a correction to the article you published today concerning Keith Kazmark’s past.
In the piece, you mischaracterize Ron Arnau’s tenure on the town council and as municipal chair of the Woodland Park Democrats. To clarify: Ron’s service did not overlap with Mr. Kazmark’s. Ron was appointed to fill Tracy Kallert’s seat on the council, and any quotes attributed to him in the article were not made in reference to Mr. Kazmark or his tenure in Woodland Park politics.
We respect and support your commitment to producing free and independent local journalism. However, we ask that reporting remain accurate. As it stands, the article misrepresents both Ron’s statements and the political history of Woodland Park. We would greatly appreciate a correction.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
