Aronsohn : No Real Friend of the Ridgewood Public Library
Regarding Mr. Aronsohn’s call to fully fund the library from next year’s budget, he hardly ever attended the library board meetings as liaison from the council (maybe 4 times in 2 years). He made his required committee reports during council meetings only a couple of times in that period.
Now, with the election looming, he wants to be the library’s hero when he could have been working for them all along.
Idea: why not check out a book on accessibility?
Seriously, how hard is it to tell people you support the library and accessibility for the handicapped? Who doesn’t?? But Paul’s also claiming fiscal responsibility. Infrastructure and shade tree maintenance aren’t as sexy, but they both require the VC attention and money. The big problem is they don’t have deep-pocketed supporters that can vote for you. Take your special interest politics, Paul, out of Ridgewood and back to Washington
As countless novels, plays, poems, and films–not to mention actual history–have attempted to teach us, ambition alone is not enough.
Mr. Aronsohn has treated us like dopes who won’t notice that he is both for and against the Valley expansion. He believes we’ll applaud him as a heroic promoter of accessibility but not recognize that he does no research and gives no thought to how it will be accomplished as long as his picture can be in the paper. Grants from the county, state, and federal government are NOT “free”–we all pay for them. Isn’t the waste of money one of his complaints?
On Wednesday morning he can finally go to work and finally spend some time there because after June 30 his Wednesday evenings will be free.
Dispicable Me!
Paul Arohnson is spending Sunday evening calling around Ridgewood and telling his subjects NOT to vote for Albert Puccarelli or Gwenn Haulk.
He’s suddenly realized that by alerting the Villagers of his dispicable ways; he’s in danger of not being elected himself.
Nice move Paul!
