>Ed Sullivan : Paul Aronsohn is a breath of fresh air on the Council
Paul Aronsohn is a breath of fresh air on the Council. He views everything with an open and highly inquisitive mind. He wants people to back up their positions with solid data. He challenges old habits and ways of doing things. Forget party affiliation. In pure terms we desparately need more people like him. We need thinkers, particularly those who have the ability to transform ideas into action. In this regard Paul is among the best there is when it comes to taking a rough idea and transforming it into a successful finished project. One does not get to share a seat on Air Force One with the most poweerful man in the free world if he is a dull laggard.
Paul is at the pinnicle of his game. He is sharp, incitefull, incredibly intelligent and his writing and communication skills are far superior to anyone who has graced the Village Council before. By his own admission he is a Democrate, but his actions and voting record tilt far more to the right than the left. Paul is and remains a strong supporter of the Business Community.He understands the need for capital formation and that only well capitalized companies will be able to undertake and complete the kind of large scale projects that are needed that are needed to transform Ridgewood into a thriving semi-urban environment that will offer an array of desirable high wage jobs along with upscale living accommodations that will befit a younger,more upwardly mobile population. This type of transformation will be extremely difficult to achieve and it is my belief Paul is one of only a few people in Ridgewood who possesses the intellecticual capacity and sheer drive to make it happen. Stand with him and watch history being made.
