Ridgewood NJ, Who is sponsoring the $25,000 Harwin campaign, and who is going to expect the paybacks for their money? The ridgewood blog has learned that it is mostly outside money flowing into the campaign with only three local donations ; Winograd, Halaby and Weitz .
Seven flyers so far , lots of spending on digital ads , lawn signs and a “consultant” named Matthew Krayton . The Ridgewood blog has learned Krayton has received over $10,000 in payments from the Harwin campaign . Who is this mysterious Matthew Krayton ?
He owns a company called Publitics which does consultant to high density housing developers and an expert in getting land rezoned in cities like Hackensack.
Why would big donors fund a municipal election , for pay back .Ever since the arrival of Paul Aronsohn onto the scene the Village of Ridgewood has been viewed as a jewel to be sold off to the highest bidder.
Over development is already a major issue in the Village and in Bergen County with 4 high density projects slated for the Central Business District . Forced over development should be considered a crime like “red lining” was in the 1960’s. Clearly a vote for Harwin and Willett is a vote for the destruction of the Village of Ridgewood.
