THE RECORD
RIDGEWOOD — The state Attorney General’s Office will not conduct its own investigation into the theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars in quarters from a storage room in Village Hall, it was announced Wednesday night.
Instead, Ridgewood’s police department will be looking further into the disappearance of $850,000 in collected parking meter coins on its own, according to Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld.
Former Ridgewood public works inspector Thomas Rica pleaded guilty last spring to stealing $460,000 of that missing $850,000. Rica had been arrested for stealing collected parking meter quarters over a three-year period.
Sonenfeld said village officials met this week with representatives from the Attorney General’s office. Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli also was present at the meeting, she said.
How about investigating the e-mail scandal also.
Case closed.
So much for Aronsohn’s “I’m going to meet with the AG”. Note his name is absent perhaps because he did not have the authority to intervene. They met with ” representatives” from the attorney generals office. Aronsohn’s heroics are a sham.
Maybe the IRS can look to see if he paid taxes on his stolen money.
that coin boy should move out of n j . this town is a joke. so now what no one is going down for the rest of the money. I never steel but it payed off for this scum bum. my god . who knows how much money people stole.
The IRS is looking in to it… interesting that Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli also was present at the meeting, This case is definitely not closed, nice try there 8:41am. We’re coming for you.
If there was someone for coin boy to give up he would have long ago
Yep, and it’s happening right under your nose…..
And your not going to do anything about it because you have to tend to
Junior and go the the country club and prep for the up coming sports season. Stop your complaining and continue to go about your business……the village has an agenda that’s been status for years and we don’t you mucking it up….
There is nothing in the status quo on how the Village has been run for 25-30 years that is acceptable. Thank goodness we finally have professional leadership and are starting to clear out the cancer. We’re coming for you thugs.
