Assemblywomen Holly Schepisi : Raising Legitimate Concerns Over Court Forced Development is Not Racism

River Vale NJ, Holly Schepisi (New Jersey State Assemblywoman for District 39 )” I will say this as clearly as possible. The current system does not work properly for anyone. Because I want the legislature to do its job and implement better policies for our communities does not make me a racist or xenophobic as stated by Kevin Walsh, the Fair Share Housing head. I am committed to focusing on providing affordability in housing for all that need it, including our seniors, our veterans, our disabled, new home owners, people who have lost their jobs or have a medical issue and the poor of all races. I do not care what race, religion, ethnicity, political affiliation you identify with. If you want to be my neighbor I will welcome you with open arms. What I do not want is to have every last piece of green space in the already most dense state paved over with 1,000 unit complexes. These units are being forced to be built by Fair Share Housing in communities with no public transportation, no jobs, no infrastructure, all volunteer fire and ambulance corps while increasing populations of small communities by 30 percent or more. Excising concerns about these real life issues is not racism. Calling it such is outrageous. “

Reader says We do not need to turf and pave every green space in Ridgewood

I think that the grass roots effort to elect an independent council and to petition a new garage vote have confused some people.

The annual “I want a cement pool” has begun. A woman posted on Facebook about the “filthy” water and the chorus joined in. They are demanding a cement pool. (And full day K)

They are unaware that the water is tested and their opinion is not fact. They think that clear pools are always sanitary. When they use words like disgusting and filthy they forget that other people actually swim there. They are insulting the Graydon swimmers knowingly or unknowingly. Lots of kide enjoy the swim team and summer camp.

Coxsackie disease is very contagious and spread from person to person. WASH YOUR HANDS. Cover your cough! Swimmers ear is not caused by Graydon, it occurs when water remains in the ear canal. I come from a family of competitive swimmers, many have had ear infections, none ever swam at Graydon. Anecdotal evidence does not point to cause. My peditrician thought that it was silly to blame Graydon for these illnesses

I brought my three children to Graydon for years. They loved it. Al of their friends were there and they made new friends every day.

Just because you want something different does not mean that the village must provide it. You can join another pool, go to a neighbors pool or even build your own. The options are there.

We do not need to turf and pave every green space in town.
