2 non athletes looking to ban athletic turf fields
who are the two non athletes ?
I believe the person is referring to the two speakers at the event.
I am always amused how many Ridgewoodians are water quality and hazardous waste experts weighing in at every damn council meeting.
any time you find yourself politically in agreement with the Sierra Club you should have a shot of bourbon and just chill out for a few minutes.
I remember when the creepy salesman (in a cheap suit) selling this junk appeared at a council meeting. He made it clear that the company’s preferred term was synthetic, not artificial, turf.
The village council should attend this.
