  2. You have to understand that the G is its own isolated little world having very little to do with the outside REAL world. It has its own set of folkways and morals. There are lots of folks who are trying to do a good job, but they end up wasting a lot of time fighting to be able to do it.

    You have to remember that MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON is a fictional movie having nothing to do with reality.

  3. Especially our local government, Mayor Paul Vagianos, Siobahn Winograd, Evan Weitz and Pam Perron. All bad for Ridgewood. Vote No to and keep the 2 faced greenwasher bee man away from the dais as well. they want all council to vote in lock step to support their special interest projects, so this will mean more benefits for their special friends. Please say no so that we can get the village back to normal.

    Their is an exploitation of a vulnerable village that put their trust in these people and there is no accountability.

    Please make it stop.
