“Ridgewood will not do better until we allow an open fair vetting for key positions, inclusive of people outside the village .
Can anyone really defend that Fishbein or Gorman are the best there is?
Just the performance of the schools shows us they are sub-par. But they live in the village so we hire them. Remember when Fishbein threatened to leave for more money and couldn’t find anywhere else to take him? Same position on police, why limit it to village residents, why no college requirements, why not raise the bar for these high paying, high benefit jobs. Shouldn’t we be insisting on the very highest standards for the taxes we pay in our schools and

The root of the problem is we elect sub-par leaders who have no idea or interest in how to lead or make tough decisions that need to be made, or they have personal agendas to keep things as they are.”
