>Readers Suggest Village Hall Has created this Mess and now its time they pick up the tab and pay for parking like every one else in town
The Village Council is doing a very good job of running residents out of Ridgewood. They passed the school budget despite a NO VOTE against it, taxes are increasing, and now another ‘tax’ on parking for RHS students. Store fronts are empty downtown and people are without jobs and hurting financially.
The Valley Expansion is being pushed down our throats and our voices are being silenced (GW debacle). Is this anyway to draw people into Ridgewood? With all of our kids out of the RW Schools, we are leaving for a kinder and gentler community. Living in RW has become a huge disappointment!.
Instead of taxing the students (whose families’ already pay Ridgewood taxes) let’s move the parking fees over to the Municipal Building/Library parking lot and put parking fees on all those spaces. Why should Village employees park at work for free? They have no problem imposing parking fees on us in town, at the train station, and now at school – while they are the only group in Ridgewood who gets to park for free. “Why shouldn’t they pay – they’re not little kids.”
