Letter: Rejection of Valley was affront to Ridgewood

THE RECORD
Valley rejection was affront to Ridgewood
Regarding “Council opposes hospital plan” (Page L-1, Nov. 23) and “Ridgewood rejects Valley plea” (Page A-1, Nov. 30):
My interest in Ridgewood village politics was recently ignited by hearings on The Valley Hospital Renewal. I saw how the long-term good of tens of thousands of residents was hijacked by a handful of people living in the vicinity of the hospital putting their parochial interests above all.
The Ridgewood Village Council vote on Nov. 22 regarding The Valley Hospital Renewal will go down in Ridgewood history as one miserable sham. To think how the council members went through the charade of having hearings when it has become clear their minds were made up long before the hearings started. And the performance of the council members at the meeting was to be seen to be believed.
Councilman Tom Riche’s vote against the Valley Renewal after he had voted for it as a Planning Board member gives a special meaning to the art of flip-flopping.
