Ridgewood NJ,  the ethically challenged former Ridgewood Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld attempted once again to interject herself in village affairs in a letter to the editor exclaiming ,”  I must admit that I’ve been stunned as well by the misinformation, changing stories and fluctuating revenue numbers coming from Village Hall. It would be laughable if it wasn’t all so disturbing and costly to us Ridgewood taxpayers.”  https://www.northjersey.com/story/opinion/readers/2017/12/20/letter-ridgewoods-handling-parkmobile-situation-puzzling-and-disturbing/968874001/ .  This is not the first time a contract arranged by the former Village manager that  has generated controversy and not been viewed as being in the best interest of the Village of Ridgewood .

The facts are actually very simple and the Sonenfeld  letter is filled with misinformation and fails to mention two key items:

1. The Resolution that the Council signed in February of 2015 stated a 2-year contract.  She signed a 35 month contract.

2. The Resolution that the Council signed in February of 2015 stated NO FEES.  She signed a contract with fees.
