I remember when VM Roberta Sonenfeld advocated for a modest tax increase Ashe at the time was worried about depleting or lowering the emergency funds account. The extremely low tax rates in the past were well below the current rate of inflation. Many feel that this approach was in the long run ,did not make good financial sense. People who were not involved during Paul’s reign will not understand how truly awful he could be to his own colleagues on the bench and to citizens. The appointment of Ms, Sonenfeld was very political in nature. He got a 4th vote for his side when she became VM. The current council got rid of an un needed and not so nice Human Resource appointee saving us tax dollars and our sanity. They appointed a truly qualified individual as VM when they hired Heather Mailander.They are working overboard to address the parking issues and allowing for all opinions except the one from the Financial Committee that addressed the old garage design! I don’t expect that I will agree with anyone all the time but it sure is nice when you’re elected officials are at least nice people!
Who cares about nice people how about competent people? This sounds like an Ann Lagrange post.
Nice and competent, a great combination to strive for.
Heather Mailandeer embodies both “nice” and “competent”. She is the best VM Ridgewood has had in a very long time.
Yes, indeed, Heather is nice and competent. Love her. Even when Jeff Voigt went postal on her last night she remained calm.
You need a thick skin to remain professional on our dais these days. Brava, Heather. I would have slapped him in the face. (Don’t vote for me.)
Yep indeed, yet another attempt by Anne Lagrange to redirect and confuse attention away from the real, legitimate questions asked by flooding this blog with noise. Anne’s vitriol only serves to amplify whatever she’s trying to obscure. The truth will come out, you betcha!
Jeff went “postal”? Please explain what about and when did he start shooting?
He repeatedly pointed his finger at Heather in a menacing fashion and yelled at her following the disclosure that copies of his e-mails to Alfred Doblin, an editor at The Record, had been obtained by Mayor Susan Knudsen via a legal OPRA request.
Oh yes, for sure blame Anne Loving she is completely responsible. I think she is responsible for the increased parking fees and the potholes on Glen and the PAARC testing too. And she is the one who made Jeff point his finger up Heather’s nose. And oh yes she is responsible for the power failure over by Hawes the other night too.
Too bad Roberta did not show up last night to defend her accusations about the budget. Oh but she didn’t need to because her spokesperson Evan was there to read her words.
can u dirty girl. all village back rooms are bug’ed. ha’ha’ we knew it all the time.
