Ridgewood NJ , Mysterious fliers appeared in residents mail boxes this Friday afternoon urging residents to vote NO on the central business district garage project.

The sender was not relieved.  Perhaps the persons who sent the mailing are fearful of reprisal and don’t want to say who they are.
According to disclosure rules if you spend less then $2100 ( I think) you don’t have to disclosed to anyone who contributed. Looks like  a few people put up big buck to do this. I guess they were tired of the 3 Amigos using the Village web site to post their spin on the garage.

  1. Great idea. Thanks to the person or persons who thought this up. VOTE NO ON TUESDAY!

  2. Wow…just need some tumbleweeds and zombies in that photo!!!

  3. Thank you to whoever did this. Good to know the FACTS about this travesty

  4. Like the person(s) who took out an ad in The Ridgewood News last week supporting high density. And then signed it with a building name.

  5. Do tell us who the new owner of the ken smith dealer is.

  6. That was the right way to get your view across instead of putting those ugly signs all over town.

  7. Well James I can’t wait for the 3 Amigos with their Field Marshall to start putting the spin on this. They are going to gin up the troops to double down on this garage for civility sake.

  8. I guess nobody can be sure who sent it, but the mail code that they used seems to have been used by Bergen machine Democrats in the past. Here are just two examples of the attack ads sent out the same way:

    There are probably more. I suppose we’re left to wonder if there is a Bergen machine Democrat with an axe to grind against the council, mayor or chamber.

  9. Well folks don’t forget a building just as tall and most like bigger will be built just down the street ( about 400 ft) from this garage ( Remember the Brogen property)

  10. The Mayor is a Dem. Paul V. is a Dem and running for Dem office. Stop trying to spin it. ITS ABOUT THE GARAGE.

  11. “axe to grind against the council, mayor or chamber.” Yea like Mayor, council and chamber never had any axes to grind. Did you ever think that some voters in ridgewood are just tired of their lies plain and .simple 8:16

  12. I posted this before. If they just put a 60 x 90 baseball field on top of this garage and ok the change to the cbd master plan the 3 Amigo will have delivered the goods to their supporters. I believe their next project ( if elected) will be a mass transit project to move people to the new performing arts center.

  13. This drawing is still not accurate. Mt. Carmel church and it’s fenced in playground are directly across the street.

  14. Roberta: Perform the same process they do for cell towers. Tether a helium filled balloon at each of the designated corners for this monstrosity at the proposed height.

  15. Spin? It’s at least possible here that some Bergen County machine politician used a school mailing list (is that even legal?) and spent thousands of dollars of dark money on a political mailing four days before a vote. You want to pass that off as spin?

  16. Sandy the view is looking from S Broad St to Ridgewood Ave and the corner of Hudson St. The church is on the other conner that would be Prospect and Hudson St.

  17. Aside from every reason to vote No, listed above. What about the fact that this gargantuous stupidity: 1) Close to bus depot and train station…perfect in and out for drug spot. Crime rings must be salivating at the thought of hooking Ridgewood youth, with disposable incomes. 2) Garage designers said safety was an issue and they need to work with police on how to secure the garage after hour, stairwells, tower etc. 3) Council will commit tax payers to a $15 million bond. We will be paying this mess forever. Wake up Residents…Vote No!

  18. No I don’t 1:10 but don’t try to pass the facts of this flier as anything then an alternate opinion and another option for information other then the ” The 3 amigos vision of Ridgewood” This is not political and the school list was not used. I suggest you stop making it political and look at the information and the VOTE

  19. Who gives a rat ass where the flier came from Democrats Republicans Independents or the Communist Party . Ridgewood is non partisan just ask the Mayor. And as far a the school list the Jamboree list and the RBA list just ask your mayor how he got to use it. Just look ant the information and make an intelligent decision when you go to vote.Can you handle that?

  20. You mean “the sender was not REVEALED,” not “relieved”–right? (In the article)

  21. Look at that Monstrosity. stop Godzilla-A -LOT. VOTE NO TUESDAY 3 rd

  22. Add to the school list, the Jamboree list, and the RBSA list this one – a personal email list from a church group of one of the council majority was used to send out a plea to vote YES on the parking garage. Really? Seems that nothing is sacred when it comes to bullying people into voting their way.
