Council needs to get itself together
To the editor:
What is going on with the Village Council? They clearly have their heads buried in the sand. Let’s start with the situation at Ridgewood Water: more than 26 percent increase over two years; lawsuit pending from neighboring towns alleging misappropriation on funds; meters that haven’t been read in more than a year without any notification to customers; software update to read meters that is more than a year and a half overdue; no notification to customers now that the technology is in place and the meters need to be retrofitted. Now the council is going to pass another special ordinance to override the 3 percent yearly increase ordinance; another 5 percent increase bringing the total for three years to more that 30 percent. Ridgewood Water is being completely mismanaged by Frank Moritz and the council needs to take action.
