Experience among BOE members is invaluable
To the editor:
I believe BOE candidate Jim Morgan’s recent letter in The Ridgewood News (“Morgan running for BOE seat”; March 2) was misleading and disingenuous. The 2 percent tax increase isn’t “there for the taking” – it’s already taken by contracted salaries, healthcare and special ed tuitions that are all out of the BOE’s hands. Trenton wants you to believe the budget cap serves taxpayers and doesn’t harm our schools, but the truth is, Ridgewood’s BOE has made cuts and eliminated important programs every year to live within the cap….
