Kellyanne Conway’s climb from pollster to White House counselor has been closely watched by the media.
When Conway joined the Trump administration, she and her husband, New York City lawyer George Conway, disclosed assets worth up to $39.3 million. Much of that wealth came from Kellyanne’s polling business, which she started in 1995, at the age of 28.
While attending law school at George Washington University, Conway worked as an assistant at a firm headed by Richard Wirthlin, who was President Ronald Reagan’s pollster and strategist.
they don’t have to post it on Facebook. All it takes is one kid to text another who sends it to a group chat where it gets sent to yet another group chat, etc. It can happen in a matter of minutes. It happened to my neighbors daughter when one of her friends sent a text to her boyfriend to let him know that she was staying at a friends because the girls parents would be out late (they were around 18 yo so not young). The boyfriend sent that info to a friend as a party invite. . . . next thing you know, there were 200 teens coming down the street looking to party. The girls had to call the police but not before kids jumped in the pool, trampled flower beds, etc.
Jeff clearly has suppressed rage issues. As another poster noted, his violent outbursts are reminiscent of Aronsohn’s and Pucciarelli’s. This behavior is frightening to see in anyone over the age of two and suggests psychiatric difficulties. Interestingly, the council members who are unendingly attacked and insulted by Aronsohn acolytes at council meetings, on social media, and elsewhere never take the bait. It’s amazing. They are grownups. But nobody should have to endure it–it’s unconscionable and the attackers should be deeply ashamed of themselves. It really is possible to discuss ideas on their merits without hurling horrible insults at hardworking volunteers. Sure, they’re paid–the same as in the ’80s or earlier–$3,000 a year for council members with another $2,000 for the mayor. For working 80-hour weeks and being yelled at.

All of the maidens in the village are besotted with Reginald Bunthorne, a moody and handsome poet, but he has eyes only for the simple milkmaid, Patience. The problem? Bunthorne’s artistic ways are all just an act to attract women to him–he doesn’t even like poetry! Besides, Patience is in love with her childhood sweetheart, who happens to be a real poet named Archibald Grosvenor, but feels she cannot marry him because he is just too perfect. In the meantime, the serious (and decidedly non-poetic) platoon of Heavy Dragoon Guards that were meant to marry the village maidens find themselves dismayed and perplexed by their sudden loss of prospects. One of Gilbert & Sullivan’s most successful shows, Patience is a rollicking satire that pits the straight-laced ideals of the Victorian era against the passions and indulgences of the 1870s Aesthetic Movement, ridiculing each side of the spectrum.

Ramon, Bernie and Jeff won because we WERE concerned about what was going on at Village Hall. We resoundingly voted for change. Too bad Jeff isn’t shaping up to be the man we expected. Aronsohn and cronies were selling out the village we love to the highest bidder. The current council is still trying to undue the damage, but it is already too late for some of it. We also said no to the garage and that is somehow back in play again.
if you aren’t Aronsohn or Aronsohn based, I’d be very surprised. Municipal tax is as low as they could make it. Everybody forgets that our real money is poured into the school system with its bizarrely bloated budget (BBB at the BOE–can I sell the T-shirts?).
CRAB should be disbanded IMMEDIATELY (as should the horrific Financial Advisory Committee). Both, like other groups, are entirely controlled by Aronsohn. He came to town not all that long ago and saw us as a big sitting duck. He has been carving us up ever since. Could not do it without the help of a tremendous number of misinformed, misguided sycophants.
Jeff Voigt and Evan Weitz have made repeated attempts to assassinate the character of Mayor Knudsen. Along with the help of Paul Aronsohn, Roberta Sonenfeld, and Jan Civility Phillips. Fortunately, the Mayor is above board and beyond reproach, so their repeated volleys of verbal munitions have simply bounced off the mayor. And they have bounced right back to the low life small minded Voigt crew and they are starting to be seen for their true tainted colors.
Voigt is a terrrible disappointment. As one who had a coffee for him at my house and I donated $$ to his campaign, I really thought he was the real deal, honest, forthright, and independent. Was I ever wrong. He has a terrible temper, which he cannot even control on the dais. Aronsohn was able to keep his temper under control in public but would go wild in private. Hauck and Pucciarelli, like Voigt, would go off in public whenever the felt wronged. A temper is not a character flaw, but it becomes one when a public official interrupts meetings with his tantrums and then goes after the ever-pleasant Heather Mailander. Moving on from his temper, we have his vindictiveness. For reasons that I do not understand, Voigt despises our mayor. I mean he hates her guts. For a period of time he refused to call her Mayor Knudsen, such a grown-up that he is (not). This level of animosity is not helpful to anyone in town. Then you have his dishonesty and underhandedness. He lied at the meeting on Wednesday, as plain as day, said he never saw an email from susan and then got pissed off when it was revealed that he forwarded it to the editor of the newspaper. Someone said he is entitled to write a letter, and I for sure agree with this. But his letter contained a major error about whether the flag could fly on any town property, when it was clearly stated by Mr. Rogers that it could fly in Van Neste. And then there is his out and out stupidity. thinking that he could write all sorts of slanderous things on company email and keep them private. DUH. And instead of being mad at himself for doing this, he gets mad at Susan and Heather for revealing them and then starts blaming everyone in sight.
Ridgewood NJ, Why does the Ridgewood Library have to close on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day? The BCCLS site doesn’t even list those days as library holidays, and they certainly are not. On the Ridgewood Library’s own website, it says May 14th/Sunday/MOTHER’S DAY and June 18th/Sunday/FATHER’S DAY (Maroons Soccer Tournament).” (Actually, it says “Maroon’s”–sadly illiterate for a library. There is only one Maroon?)
What’s the connection–the library has to close because it is ceding the entire parking lot to attendees at a sports event? Does everybody in town care about sports AT ALL? I assure you, they do not.
Here’s the link. It says 2016, but the listings on the page are correct for this year. Somebody failed to update the URL.
Ridgewood NJ, Spring has traditionally been known as the time to clean house and get a fresh and clean start. I like to include the body in spring cleaning as well.
It’s the season we should feel like eating light detoxifying food that will uplift our energy. Eating more nutrient-packed raw plant based vegan meals that clean the body from the fat that was accumulated during the winter time is what we should be doing.
I would like to inspire you to cook tasty and healthy meals at home on a daily basis. My goal is to explain the principles of detox cooking and will demonstrate how to cook 5 different dishes that are all delicious, nutritious and that anyone can easily prepare at home.
At the end of the class you will eat the dishes that were prepared and I will provide a print out with all the recipes.
Class will be held on Wednesday May 17, 2017

Ridgewood NJ, despite dire predictions and storm warnings NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) says a coastal storm system will bring unsettled weather across the Tri-State into Sunday. Expect periodic moderate to heavy rains .
Seems rather subdued given the over hyped predictions of a Nor-ester .
Weather Summary for the Local Tri-State Region National Weather Service New York NY 420 AM EDT Sat May 13 2017
A coastal storm system will bring unsettled weather across the Tri-State into Sunday. Rain will continue to overspread the area through the day, becoming moderate to locally heavy at times this afternoon and evening. The rain will gradually taper off from west to east overnight. Temperatures today will be well below normal in the lower to middle 50s.

Ridgewood NJ, yes its true Starbucks is opening a second location in downtown Ridgewood, around the corner from its first coffee shop in the village on Ridgewood Avenue and you will not even have to park.
The new convenience Starbucks drive thru will eliminate the need for parking in Ridgewood’s central business district .
Located at the former Fleet Bank property ,next to TD Bank on Franklin Avenue the drive-through only location, will be unlike the Starbucks at 193 E. Ridgewood Avenue, which is a more traditional Starbucks .
The Starbucks coffee and go location will be the third food operation to attempt to make a go of the Fleet drive-through kiosk on Franklin Avenue. After the Fleet drive-through closed following the ’04 merger with Bank of America, a drive-through convenience store opened on the site in ’06 and was later was replaced by a short-lived drive-through coffee shop.
Observers see the new coffee and go location as a positive attempt to circumvent to peak period parking issues in the CBD , but concerns about possible added traffic congestion remain.
