Deputy Mayor calls out Misrepresentations of “One Village One Vote” group on School Budget Vote

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Moms and Dads Facebook page ; a page censored by its Admin had an interesting conversation.

Deputy Mayor Knudsen decided to correct the misinformation that’s being propagated by the One Village One Vote group, she pointed out the inaccuracies in Matt Lindenberg’s post that > 2% annual increase in Budget automatically calls out the budget vote and clarified that use of exceptions/ exemptions the BOE budget can exceed 2% without a November vote, Dan Creed further clarified that the exception items can easily hit the 10% increase without an actual Budget vote, he also explained that through ‘Bank the difference’ any year where the budget doesn’t increases 2%, the Difference can be reserved for next year, essentially the tax payers have no control on this perpetual increase without the budget vote.

Village One Vote group that is looking to take away Ridgewood residents right to vote on the Ridgewood School budget. Using a ruse claiming non November elections are low turnout and therefor expensive . The group omits to mention that to eliminate the April vote would eliminate the school budget vote . The Ridgewod School budget currently stands at $111,000,000 and accounts for over 60% of your tax dollars

Matt Lindenberg also expressed his inability to counter the numbers that Dan posted and the arguments that Susan had, this is the reason that the One Village group does not want to have such discussions on one of the open social media pages, they do not have an argument against the budget vote and they also do not have an argument against April nonpartisan elections which were seen as a reform measure to keep the national politics away from local issues. So, choose to put lies at a censored site.

Siobhan Winograd is one of the admins of the page and she has blocked multiple residents from her profile, the page admin role enables her to read the comments and respond to the posts, where as the person blocked by her is not able to see her responses and is not able to counter her comment, She commented on the posts and she asked for data to be provided for the % of people who voted for BOE elections but since she has blocked almost anyone countering her in past, so doesn’t gets a response! She refuses to believe that the low % of Votes during April elections is not much different from the November and anyone who chooses to Vote is able to do so in April on budget but not in November.

  1. If you read tge whole conversation you see that this group is spreading lies in order to advance their destructive agenda. I am a member of that stupid Facebook page and it is great entertainment. A bunch of losers trying to amplify their egos. Including douchebag Voigt

  2. Siobhan needs to block everyone from that page except for her five (or so) supporters…….DPL, SIL, JDV, GH, RS, JP.

  3. How does that group still have any members? There are two community pages that are so much better.

    1) Ridgewood Moms and Dads with FREE SPEECH

    2) It Takes a Ridgewood Village

  5. STEVE FREIDES? Isn’t he the teacher/trainer that earns from Ridgewood Taxpayers? What Koolaid made him support, enable and become an Admin on a page that misleads residents?

  6. Don’t trust one vote group at all. Surprised and disappointed that Loscalzo is involved with Winograd.
    Oh well, thank you Mayor Knudson and Dan Creed for exposing the one vote lies.

  7. Wtf? Is Susan the mole that feeds you this stuff since you(James) are banned from the group. She should be banned from Ridgewood Moms and dads. She’s a rat and most certainly looks like one too. Cannot wait for her Trump loving butt to be gone. Stringy hair, bad clothing, halitosis, and rotten teeth. Gross.

  8. That fb page is strictly for laughs

  9. *former mayor
    On her way out! Irrelevant

  10. Wow James. Haters posting awful jealous personal attacks just because One Vote Winograd friend was caught fudging the facts?

    Jealously is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius and is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity.

    The thermometer of Knudsen’s success, intelligence, confidence, and beauty is measured by the jealousy of the malcontents.

  11. Does the delusional poster really believe Knudsen gave the post to the blog? Moles crawling all over mom’s and dad’s because Siobhan Winograd and her friends blocked us all from seeing her posts about voting.
    James, did Knudsen give you the screenshots?

  12. One vote one pillage really pissed off and nasty. Terrible personal attack on someone’s looks. Nasty poster should have her eyes examined.

  13. That is a creepy group i would not even allow my childern to interact with anyone adult or teacher in that group

  14. They are all full of shit

  15. Susan absolutely did not give the screen shots to the blog. fact

  16. All three RW FB pages promote bullying, scensoring, screening, filtering, deleting, and blocking they are all terrible… Including the blog.
