>BREAKING : Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce Rejects Paul Arohnson Endorsement
Councilman Paul Arohnson, Village Liaison with the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce, lobbies Chamber seeking political re-election endorsement over other Councilmen despite ethics rules forbidding political endorsements.
Ed Sullivan led the charge to have the Chamber back Paul. After Following heated discussions; Chamber declined the request due to several obvious conflicts with Mr. Arohnson being the Village Liaison with the Chamber, the Chamber’s need to remain a non-political and business centric body, the Chamber’s charter rules forbidding endorsements and controversies of this type and vocal dissatisfaction with Mr. Arohnson’s performance as Liaison.
Several of the Chamber are now reportedly seeking to replace Mr. Arohnson as Liaison who is viewed by many as a failed career politician; insensitive to the needs of local residents and businesses.
