>Village Council Elections : I am supporting Tom and Bernie ,Tom has crisis experience and Bernie brings some much needed new blood to the mix. Both care about our Village and both are not doing this based on some misguided ulterior motive.

Its seems strange to me that the same people who want to spend millions on a water park have the nerve to criticize Tom Riche .
Do you not remember that hurricane Floyd wiped out the entire village hall ,the public library and the Ridgewood Police department ?
The Police had no ability to [...]

>Village Council Elections: Walsh has taken a stand on the issues that a lot of people care about
03 years ago
Don’t you see that Dowd/Cronk haven’t said one thing about what they want to do other than “cut waste” blah blah blah. Typical p.c. politician-speak.
Walsh has taken a stand on the issues that a lot of people care about.
Cronk is a puppet of his wife Melinda. I’m sure she is having Doug run to help [...]
>Ridgewood’s future, because this Native is tired of living in the past, and looking for a rebirth.
03 years ago
I have overheard people saying that it’s just the new people in town, the ones that just move here, that are putting up the Cronk/Dowd signs.

>I didn’t realize that there is nothing as important in this town as some made up projected view of Graydon.
03 years ago
I didn’t realize that there is nothing as important in this town as some made up projected view of Graydon. Not education cuts, not other wasteful spending (like that done under Riche’s first term as Councilman), not property taxes.

Reader comments : Fancy Flyer from Cronk & Dowd
Everybody like the strollin’-through-downtown pix of our “like-minded” candidates in their his ‘n’ his outfits? Wait till they create a voting bloc with friend Aronsohn for a three-vote majority on our five-member council and get everything they want [...]

>Village Council Elections : Walsh and Riche representing fiscal responsibility? Riche’s record says exactly the opposite
03 years ago
How the heck is one random uninformed prediction front paged? Riche “has shown that small changes are oftentimes as important as big flashy projects.” Really? Sounds nice, but how?
