Reader says financial experience in the private sector does not equate at all to experience in the public sector

FAC committee Ridgewood

The FAC is dead, keep it that way. No offense, but financial experience in the private sector does not equate at all to experience in the public sector. They are very different animals and the previous FAC was completely clueless on village operations and department function in hopes of saving pennies. Yet overlooked major holes such as the parking authority, human resources (remember that mess) and a manager who was living in candyland. We elect council members to oversee the operation, if they are doing their job there is no need for a FAC.
And lets be honest with each other, the zoo that needs a cleaning is on Cottage Place. If the FAC has no authority to give opinion on that money pit, then whats the point. Pennies saved on property taxes isnt worth the insane opinion of so called experts. Been There…. Done That.
