Ridgewood NJ, it is unbelievable that Vagianos and Winograd are doing everything in their power to control the message, squash public comments, ignore the people who they are elected to serve.  From censoring (hiding?  blocking?) comments on their official Facebook pages, to trying to stop the display of signs at meetings, also cutting off public comments at meetings, stopping (or trying to) residents from naming council members by name, Winograd participating in a highly censored and controlled Facebook group, Vagianos stalling on legal OPRA request fulfillments – the list goes on and on.  And Vagianos scolds everyone before public comments even commence – telling them that they have to be civil and so on.  That is like yelling at your kids when they have not done anything wrong, just in case they MIGHT do something wrong.  We are entitled to FREE AND OPEN speech as long as threats and vulgarity are not part of it.  What are they thinking?

US officials have been coordinating talks to rescue First Republic, with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve said to be orchestrating meetings about throwing it a lifeline. But some of the biggest US banks, which have already contributed $30 billion in deposits to prop up First Republic, have balked at the prospect of throwing good money after bad.
