Ridgewood NJ, An individual candidate’s report from the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission’s website reveals that during his 2008 campaign for Village Council, Ridgewood Mayor Paul Aronsohn accepted an “In Kind” contribution of $383.92 from local real estate developer John Saracino. The “In Kind” contribution was made in the form of a candidate’s reception.
An ordinance that would essentially approve Mr. Saraceno’s high density multi-family housing project, “The Enclave,” is currently being considered by Mayor Aronsohn and the Village Council.
Does the acceptance of the noted campaign contribution indicate a conflict of interest exists on Mayor Aronsohn’s part?

Let’s try and concentrate on legitimate objections to the housing plan. Not $383.92 spent on a reception.
The picture alone tells you it is a conflict, a soon to be indicted senator and a loser mayor.
your point well made Rich — those “wind Bags” always look to do harm.
We are Rich. $383.92 donation and $1000. comp tickets to the Governors reception given from local real estate developer John Saracino goes to the legitimate of the process. Who knows what else was accepted ?
The pictured Senator has already been indicted.
Innocent until proven guilty as sin.
Don’t forget last night it was revealed that Mayor Arohnson accepted campaign contributions for Green? development.
Speaking of “Wind Bags” Dom how are you? I can always count on you to come to the defense of the 3 Amigos right or wrong.
Drum all three of them out of town and let’s be done with it.
I cant wait for the three ring circus to leave town!
Rich, the devil is in the details. And the details are very significant
Who on the Council took contributions from the leadership of the CBR?
Good question Mr. Mayor (6:51) Why don’t you tell us. The difference is the CBR does not stand to make money if these project are not constructed. No gain what so ever unlike the owners of the properties and their developers. Theres a big difference.
6:51 – Paul, you are pitiful. Do you hear us? You are pitiful
