But with and increasing hostile council majority dead set in many residents opinions of destroying the very nature of the Village , with massive over development residents are left to wonder what happened to their town. The village has simply turned into everything many residents were trying to get away from .
It’s a constant theme heard all around the Village , at cocktail parties, student activities and other social gatherings ; the Village has lost its luster. From harsh notices on an outstanding summons for “failure to comply with leaf removal requirements.”
Residents also feel harnessed and ask themselves ,”What the hell is going on with all these tickets lately? 600 or so so we have been told . No comfort when the notice threatens to arrest you and revoke oury license if you dont respond with guilty and pay the $85, or not guilty and go to court.
New residents say , “our experience so far has us feeling an awful lot like generating revenue is more important than making sure we’re safe.”
To many the excessive use of ticketing sounds like a scam or typical New Jersey .Many residents complain that despite following the rules they were ticked anyway with no reasonable recourse . Contrary to the Deputy Mayor other people have jobs as well.
