Glen Rock NJ, we have had many reports of downed wires today including a death in Franklin Lakes . Just received this message from Glen Rock Police . Do not approach or drive over a downed line and do not touch anything that it might be in contact with. Cones & police line tape has been deployed, it is impossible for officers to remain at these locations.

Heavy, wet snow brought down large trees, branches and wires at numerous locations in town. Electric service crews worked through the night and will continue to work as safely and as quickly as possible. The restoration process will likely take several days given the damage from falling trees that will need to be cleared.

Reader Predicts Dire Consequences for Ridgewood Water

RidgewoodWaterLogo 061912 rn tif

It’s not “weather” Ridgewood overcharged…they did. And that has been proven in a court of law. The real question is once the water company is bankrupt and sold off for pennies on the dollar how will the municapilaty continue to pad the payroll without the residual income of the now defunct utility had provided? Where will the cash come from to pay the mayors sons their salaries? How will we pay for all the booted pensions and absured salaries?
