Ridgewood NJ, Tomorrow, July 1st will establish a new “Independence Day” for the Village of Ridgewood. The tyranny of the worst three individuals to ever serve the Village will thankfully come to an end. Never in the history of our Village have three people created such a toxic environment. Their playbook, much like the playbook of Hudson County and Washington politics of the past, was to attack all that disagreed with anything they said. They created their puppet Kingdom of followers by establishing a financial panel with self-serving interests and seating a Village Manager who considers herself the “sixth Council member”. They attempted to personally discredit and ruin the reputation of decent people. What were their accomplishments??? Absolutely nothing!!! They spent all of their elected tenure spewing vitriol and promoting failed project after failed project. Finally, the residents woke up and saw how our Village was being compromised. It is usually the custom to thank those who have served and given of themselves, however in this case there appears to be nothing to be thankful for…other than their departure. July 1 2016…Ridgewood’s NEW INDEPENDENCE DAY!!

I don’t understand how supporters of the majority council don’t have a problem that these 3, plus Roberta lied to residents to get that November vote. That is telling and shameful- all residents whether you want a garage or not should have no tolerance for such trickery.

Telling residents nothing has been decided with respect to design when indeed, the design has been decided, and we are not disclosing that our chosen design is 12 feet in the street was wrong and horrible leadership. Contracts to begin specs for design A were signed on October 28th – before the vote!!! It was deceitful and despicable, with no accountability and cost taxpayers $120,000 in change orders.

I can understand and be sympathetic to mistakes but not deliberate and deceitful plotting and scheming to get what you want. The current design is still too big. It is 5 feet in the street and 60’10” tall…not 46′ that they keep saying -which is frickin ridiculous they don’t count the towers when discussing height. Mt. Carmel (FYI is 50′ tall) will be here a lot longer than any restaurant or business. The way these people have disrespected the church and ALL residents is shameful, and to defend that behavior or turn a blind eye because you want a garage….what? Why?

Council Women Gwenn Hauck Takes a Parting Shot At Ridgewood Residents

The unsubstantiated, unhappy comments above are designed (as usual) to further confuse the public and upset good people.

Ask any/all seniors that I spend time with if I have ever told them who to vote for, or if I have ever distributed any
campaign fliers to them. They will tell you the Truth.

It was Voight, Hache and Walsh campaigners who targeted senior citizens leaving my non-political luncheon at the last one
I would ever have (already a sad and poignant day for me) with their campaign literature as they boarded their senior bus.

I treat senior citizens as people, not as votes. I would not target senior citizens as a voting block, like they did.

A few days ago I refrained from commenting on the total fabrications written on the blog about who really behaved poorly during my luncheon, but the insults cannot go undefended when they just keep coming, and coming, and don’t relent.

You can bet that the anonymous comments posted on the Blog are ghost-written by the same mean and angry people – and worse than being unkind, they are also untrue.
