Readers, Council Meeting Raised More Questions about Meeting between Developers and selected Council members

I just watched the meeting. The public needs to see the emails in question. How many meetings did Albert Pucciarelli and Paul Aronsohn have with terminal construction, what did they promise terminal? Looks bad. Maybe cause for an official investigation.

The behavior of Mayor Paul Aronsohn and Deputy Mayor Albert Pucciarelli is an embarrassment for all the town. They were rude and unprofessional in their discussion with Councilwoman Walsh. I was proud to see that Mrs. Walsh maintained a calm, professional manner. Despite their repeated attacks, she never lost her cool. Thanks Bernie.

Its no secret that Deputy Mayor Albert Pucciarell has had it in for Walsh ever since she did not support him for Planning Board President. His ego could not except that and has said as much. No doubt thats why he ran for council to get even.

Last night was Ms. Walsh’s finest hour. It was Mr. Pucciarelli’s and Mr. Aronsohn’s worst performances ever. They were an embarrassment to all of us. Imagine such unprofessional, name-calling behavior from our elected official. At least Ms. Walsh is a shining example of how to lead. She is a class act.

Paul Aronsohn could not control the meeting because he is probable just involved as BIG AL. He did not have his consultants there to help him. Typical of his style of politics he went on the attack Walsh intimating that she tried to fix a ticket and when she had the answer for that he brought in the old standby Gabbert’s raise. How many time are we going to hear that line?

Ridgewood explores three options for 2013 budget

Ridgewood explores three options for 2013 budget

The Ridgewood Council will explore at least three different options and consider the recent findings of a volunteer finance committee as it begins discussions on the 2013 municipal budget.

Village Manager Ken Gabbert presented preliminary figures to the governing body Wednesday night to illustrate separate spending plans: one that represents a 1.1 percent budget increase over last year, another showing a zero percent budget increase, and a third that would potentially deliver a zero percent tax increase.

“We started the [2013] budget process with the departments back in October. What’s been done differently is that we went back for an extra round with the departments in accordance to the council’s direction,” the village manager reported. In December, council members instructed Gabbert and his staff to construct a number of budget options for presentation in January.

The 2012 village budget totaled more than $45.2 million, while the average Ridgewood homeowner shelled out approximately $3,900 for each municipal tax bill last year. A proposed total budget amount for this year was not used at this week’s council work session, as several influencing factors are still unknown.

Triaminic and Theraflu Recall

Story

Triaminic and Theraflu Recall
January 31,2013
the  staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ,  Bottles of Triaminic and Theraflu cold and allergy syrups are being recalled by Novartis because of defective child-resistant bottle caps.

The Triaminic and Theraflu recall covers 142 production lots of Triaminic syrups and 41 lots of Theraflu syrups. Novartis the company that produces the medicines, claims that the defect could allow for the removal the cap without breaking the seal on the bottle.

The company says that it received four reports of adverse events to date related to the Triaminic products.

The Triaminic and Theraflu products were made between May 2010 and December 2011 at a Novartis facility in Nebraska. Novartis shut down that plant in December 2011 after federal inspections found numerous quality-control problems.

Novartis says it believes currently that 97%  of the inventory has been used, returned, or quarantined.

Dominican prostitute: Sen. Bob Menendez ‘likes the youngest and newest girls’

In a little-noticed email published online Wednesday by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a young Dominican woman wrote nine months ago that she slept with 59-year-old New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez at a series of sex parties organized by Dr. Salomon Melgen, a longtime Menendez campaign donor.

“That senator also likes the youngest and newest girls,” the woman wrote on April 21, 2002, according to an English translation provided to The Daily Caller by a native Spanish speaker.

“In the beginning he seemed so serious, because he never spoke to anyone, but he is just like the others and has just about the same tastes as the doctor, very refined. I think they were taking us more often to get us checked [medically] because of him.”
