A new resident to the Village ran two years ago. Lawyer. Smart and well spoken. Made a nice pitch at the council debate that “newcomers to the town have voice and perspective”, and it sounded ok. Problem was more apparent in hindsight that we was pushing a pro-development agenda that few longtimers wanted (and few newbies wanted either). And he really had been “planted” on FAC for the sole reason of building a resume for a run council. Essentially, either he came here with HIS ideas to push on us, or, he wanted a job in politics and our former Mayor thought he could implant the guy on council for their mutual benefit. Harwin is like that guy, but on STEROIDS. Why is she even running? It’s not out of love for Ridgewood, that’s clear. In fact, one could reasonably infer that sewing discord IS her aim. Newcomers should get involved. But recent history suggests newcomers running for office is a really bad idea.
Ironic that Paul managed to find people in his own secular circle to mold and run. Sorry for calling out the obvious but I mean why is no one saying it.
He’s Turing this town in to his own religious and polical party for what?? I don’t get why these people so blindly follow him.
That’s my favorite front page ever, not counting the end of various World Wars.
I think some of the longtimers in this town are nothing but bullies. Even you look at the most recent high school incident…
Harwin is one arrogant bitch. Oh. My. God. Who the hell does she think she is???? And she smugly announces that she can be a voice for young parents. Hello??????? Mike Sedon is a young parent, he has three kids, the youngest of whom is maybe 3 or 4. He is a perfect. non-arrogant voice for Ridgewood’s young families.
Now just checking, Ms. Ivy League – did I use the word WHOM correctly? Because, you know, we need ivy league educated people on the dais for sure. Even if they are assholes like you.
