CORRECTION: Ridgewood Residents Express Concerns Over Kazmark’s Past and Leadership Style

image0 16
Hi James, 

I’m reaching out to request a correction to the article you published today concerning Keith Kazmark’s past.

In the piece, you mischaracterize Ron Arnau’s tenure on the town council and as municipal chair of the Woodland Park Democrats. To clarify: Ron’s service did not overlap with Mr. Kazmark’s. Ron was appointed to fill Tracy Kallert’s seat on the council, and any quotes attributed to him in the article were not made in reference to Mr. Kazmark or his tenure in Woodland Park politics.

We respect and support your commitment to producing free and independent local journalism. However, we ask that reporting remain accurate. As it stands, the article misrepresents both Ron’s statements and the political history of Woodland Park. We would greatly appreciate a correction.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

In solidarity,
Kenna Srivastava
Campaign Manager, Arnau for Assembly

The reference to ‘The Real Housewives’—a show known for its dramatic storylines, intense conflicts, and strong personalities—in the context of his role as Village Manager is not only inappropriate but also unprofessional, especially considering the show’s association with more serious issues like financial fraud conspiracy, criminal charges, and defaulting on home equity loans.
