Ridgewood NJ, The promise of “hybrid access” in local government is supposed to ensure that every voice is heard, whether you are sitting in the front row of the council chambers or logging in from your kitchen table. However, during Wednesday night’s Ridgewood Village Council Public Work Session, that promise felt more like a hollow gesture.

Ridgewood NJ, at the March 22 Village Council work session, the five council members agreed to move forward with a resolution supporting the Green Amendment which, hopefully, will go to a state-wide vote to change the State Bill of Rights. As Deputy Mayor Perron reported, this amendment would provide citizens of the Garden State with the inalienable right to potable water, clean air, a clean and healthy environment, the preservation of natural and healthy habitats, and the scenic qualities of the historic environment. Perron went on to explain that if the Council moves forward with this, it will give a message to the State that Ridgewood thinks this is a good idea.
