Even the Bergen Record noticed its been 14 years
Ridgewood NJ , In the Record’s recent editorial Failure to disconnect even the far left leaning Bergen Record had to admit ,”were the Village Council and the municipal administration? No one knew for at least 14 years that a council or Planning Board member had improper contracts with the town?
And as a readers so eloquently said ,”So let me get this straight, Mayor Aronsohn who voted for letting Riche do the work is now saying it was illegal. Then why did he vote YES! He was the one who gave approval NOT Riche. It’s like a cop tells me I can buy some pot and then arrests me for smoking it!
The Record: Failure to disconnect

The Record
A COUNCIL member should not do business with the municipal government he represents. That principle is not hard to grasp.
But for some inexplicable reason, it was not followed in Ridgewood, where Councilman Thomas Riche has had a long-standing business relationship with the village through his telecommunications firm, Extel Communications.

this council has been asleep for years take a ride around town and look at any village owned building aside from village hall , they are all falling apart it is a shame.
The editorial in The Record had some of the facts skewed, unfortunately. And of course his higness Aronsohn provided more fuel for the fire.
“Far left leaning Record”…you wouldn’t know “far left” if it took your possessions and sent you to a communal farm.
