Ridgewood Nj, What is happening to Councilman Voigt? Since his appointment, many say they’ve witnessed Jeff Voight lash out and verbally attack residents and fellow council members. One resident said, “Pre-election Voigt and post-election Voigt are two very different people. His aggressive behavior is a threat to everyone and we should all be very concerned.”
What triggers the outbursts? A disorder? Some say, it appears as though Councilman Voigt has an ASSIGNED agenda. If anyone or thing poses a threat to that, it must be plowed down.
Recent complaints prompted a review of committees, their function and bylaws. When Councilman Voigt realized the Financial Advisory Committee (FAC) was included, he lashed out, made false accusations and tried desperately to invalidate the fiduciary practice of rules and regulations. Of course now the question is, why is Voigt so protective of the FAC and what is he afraid a review will uncover?
What is your take? His recent attack, on Mayor Knudsen, can be seen on this clip.
