State Sen. Paul Sarlo (D-36) walked out of the Renaissance in Lyndhurst earlier today after conferring behind closed doors with other pooh-bahs in the Democratic Party.

“Bergen Democrats are united. There was a huge show of force behind our candidate and the chairman,” announced Sarlo, referring to the deal Bergen County Democratic Committee Chairman Lou Stellato landed to run Freeholder James Tedesco for county executive this year against incumbent Republican Kathe Donovan.

Players in the room this morning included State Party Chairman (and Passaic County Dems Chairman) John Currie, U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-9), Stellato, Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg (D-37), state Sen. Bob Gordon (D-38), and Sarlo.

Election Day : Reader calls for Village Wide Financial disclosure referendum and Valley PILOT referendum

In addition to the election, there should be a referendum on a PILOT program, whereby Valley would make a payment in lieu of taxes to the Village for municipal services provided, including police & fire. There should also be a referendum to change the Financial disclosure forms submitted by Village Council and Planning Board members, forcing them to disclose if the company they own or work for does any business with the Village of Ridgewood, Ridgewood Water, the NWBCD (Central Dispatch), etc. The forms currently only ask for sources of income, not if those sources have any conflict with Village contracts. This would help us to avoid conflicts of interest where officials think it is acceptable to conduct private business with VoR.
