Reader Asks Are the majority of our council members actually insane or are they trying to pretend insanity

crazy eddie 41

We can complain about the total inability of our current Council to do ANYTHING but spend until we are blue in the face. The fact is THEY DON’T CARE! I, personally can’t believe that they would stoop so low as to sell their votes, but the money trail leads directly from them outwards to all the useless, unnecessary and unfair monetary decisions they have made. Raising everyone’s parking rate to build a garage to support the housing that should never be being built. Ignoring the fact that the neighboring towns have been meeting to find some way to reduce their assessments to meet the court’s decision. Do you think they are really satisfied with Ridgewood’s decision to hire a “water expert” to tell them they actually underpaid? But we have to rush quickly to spend THEIR money on our new water building? Are the majority of our council members actually insane or are they trying to pretend insanity so they can’t be held responsible for any decisions they make to throw money away? I am truly beginning to wonder.

Surveying 1,000 Americans, the data researchers at Ooma https://www.ooma.com/home-security/butterfleye-security-camera/] — a Silicon Valley company offering an innovative home security and monitoring platform and makers of the Ooma Butterfleye smart security camera — discovered that some people love their pets so much, they go to great lengths to spend every moment with them — even when they aren’t home.

He Who Promotes High Density Housing Does Not Get to Complain About its Effects

public saftey cbd theridgewoodblog.net

Reader says , “Don’t get too mad at her, she probably doesn’t even have the self awareness/common sense to understand the consequences of what she and the garage/high density crowd have done. Tim Whiting is another, loud garage supporter who now complains about how high the annual parking fees are. He also recently struggled to understand the difference between motivational banners for the football team and the “proper message for students”. Birds of feather…”

Reader explains a definition of an ombudsman: “someone whose job is to deal with complaints that people make about an organization or particular type of business”

3 amigos in action Ridgewood NJ

Hahaha, here is a definition of an ombudsman: “someone whose job is to deal with complaints that people make about an organization or particular type of business” Oh my god, so Paul Aronsohn is taking complaints and dealing with them, what the heck? He is the most insensitive, nasty man ever, remember how he was for our 8 years of hell when he was on the council, sniping at people, writing nasty emails, screaming at Bernadette Walsh and Tom Riche, then at Susan, remember how he tried to kill Mike Sedon’s candidacy by contacting his employer, oh man, the list goes on and on. What the heck was Murphy thinking putting THIS man in charge of helping anyone, most especially those with disabilities.

Village of Ridgewood and Valley Hospital Announce Flu Shot Clinic – October 23

Ridgewood NJ, The Ridgewood Health Department reminds you that influenza is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. Every flu season is different, and influenza infection can affect people differently. Even healthy people can get very sick from the flu and spread it to others. Over a period of 31 seasons between 1976 and 2007 the CDC states that in the United States range from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people. During recent flu seasons, between 80% and 90% of flu related deaths have occurred in people 65 years and older. “Flu season” in the United States can begin as early as October and last as late as May. During this time, flu viruses are circulating at higher levels in the U.S. population. An annual seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to reduce the chances that you will get seasonal flu and spread it to others. When more people get vaccinated against the flu, less flu can spread through that community.

Readers Debate Crime Wave at Bergen County Wild Duck Pond in Ridgewood

I am SHOCKED. This is depressing. I never knew this can happen in Ridgewood. These things do not happen in the Bronx in the middle of the day let alone a small, cozy town in Bergen County. If this has been happening on a regular basis why is no one arrested? Why can’t there be hidden cameras in these places? If there is no punishment things will get worse.
And I am sorry but continually advising people to not leave stuff in their cars is insulting. It is suggesting we have to accept crime as a normal thing and accept that we have no power over criminals.
