the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Ridgewood NJ , A resident who recently spoke out at a Village Council meeting in opposition to a plan being promoted by the “Council majority” reported to me that within a few days of making those comments, a Village of Ridgewood employee visited his/her home, conducted an unannounced property maintenance inspection, and issued a summons to the resident.
Wondering if the timing of the inspection was in any way related to the comments he/she made at the recent Village Council meeting, or just a coincidence, the resident informally checked with several other people who had publicly voiced opposition to a “Council majority” plan and found, surprisingly, that a few others had also recently received summonses for property maintenance related issues.
The staff of The Ridgewood Blog wonders how many of you out there received a summons in connection with a property maintenance related issue shortly after speaking at a Village Council meeting?
We’d love to hear from you with as many specifics as you’d care to share.
9:04pm John V, AP is not liked, is a little rude in his responses but he doesn’t lie. At the other end, its really difficult to trust the Mayor. If you ask me for specifics on this, I will say watch several meetings in a row and you will see the pattern. Yes be is good at ‘looking good’, but he is director of communications in corporate America. He knows communication.
Yes, at 4:30 He is great in that he can lie to your face and be so convincing as he does it. John V. is right, he is the only politician in the group. On september 30 with the huge crowd in the audience, he was the first to agree to more studies. On the garage, he switched from plan A (which the council majority voted on) to plan C in the middle of the night. Then he lies to your face and tells you plan C is a compromise when really it is the same design, still in the street etc with just a level off the top…
Sometimes I just miss Dom and Rurik.
There is a citizen who contacted the editor of the Staten Island Advance and has more info.
