Dear Mr. Deputy Mayor:What then is your vision for the CBD?
While you raise some good points I think it’s time for you and the Council to get specific. I understand that you are under pressure from two or more corporations that have a special interest in getting their projects approved. Each of these projects is now well documented and each one requests a Master Plan amendment, or in other words, is much too large to be approved with simple variances. What is your stance on each of these projects? Do you believe that as they are proposed they are good for our Village?
It is also public knowledge that you have met with these interests with your two running mates but without the rest of the Council and without providing notice to the public. You were even the guest of one company at a fundraiser for Governor Christie. Do you care now to share what was said at those meetings? Is what was discussed at those meetings part of your current plan?
I agree that it is time for the Village to take control of the agenda to improve the CBD. I am anxious to hear your vision and to know where you stand on the current projects before the Village.
(Editor’s note: A forum on the CBD will be held from 7:30-9 p.m. on Wednesday, July 23 in the Village Hall courtroom. A follow-up session will be announced at the July 23 forum).

Pose that question by mail and at the time suggested. Should be interesting for all of us……… thanks.
No I will not pose the question by mail. He is a public servant and he should clarify his plan in an open forum. The Viceroy wrote his self serving letter in The Ridgewood News. and he should back it up with his plan Dom.
What a letter to the Ridgewood News. Could the Viceroy have used “I ” more. What an ego.
No, no #2 we are the servants and we should follow blindly lest we be call “The disgruntled few ” standing in the way of progress aka “Al’s vision”
That letter to the editor does not sit right. Since the current mayor brought city politics to our village he has used the newspaper to his own ends and the paper, always desperate for news, has shamefully allowed it. It would have been more honest to run that “letter” as an op-ed piece. Strikes me as dishonest. Can’t really put my finger on why, but what a “coincidence” to have an article at the same time. I don’t like the idea of our council members’ participating in the production of our one weekly newspaper. The mayor’s self-serving column in the paper also is just wrong. Not fond of Dr. Fishbein’s, either–similarly self-serving, but maybe less grotesquely.
I bet Pooch wants a column too. How long will he be satisfied as Ahronson’s #2? When he blows it will be ugly.
