Readers ask was there any unlawful pillow talk?

Ridgewood Village Hall theridgewoodblog.net 6

The most important question is whether any laws beside adultery were violated. They served on the Village Council together for 4 years. Was there any unlawful pillow talk? Did they conspire as a 2 person team to defraud taxpayers in any way? Our current local government administration should request a full investigation by the BCPO’s Office or the State AG’s office.

It’s Gwenn and Paul. This is old news. But begs the question of should the public have been informed of the personal relationship. I mean their votes would be the same right.
