Westwood NJ, what do Bergen County Mayors, Carlos Rendo (Woodcliff Lake), Mike Ghassali (Montvale), John Glidden (Closter), Dan Pronti (North Arlington), Daniele Fede (Bogota), Ray Arroyo (Westwood), and a few others, all have in common? They are Republican Mayors in towns with more registered Democrats than Republicans.

Westwood NJ, Westwood Mayor Ray Arroyo commented on Montvale’s Mayor Mike Ghassali use of AI .
Arroyo said, ” Montvale’s Mayor Mike Ghassali sent me a copy of what AI has to say about Westwood. And what it says sounds alot more accurate and authentic than “artificial”.
It shouldn’t take a computer to tell us that we have far more for which to be optimistic and thankful, rather than discouraged and discontented.
