Ridgewood NJ, in no uncertain terms, Ridgewood Mayor Paul Vagianos made it clear during the Wednesday, March 6th Village Council Work Session that he does not want the Clinton Ave. “streetscape” disturbed by any safety improvements other than the installation of a sidewalk on one side of the street and a curb on the opposite side.

Ridgewood NJ, Yes. You read it right brothers & sisters. Ridgewood Mayor Paul Vagianos referred to the well documented, notarized, $47K mortgage note he holds on the Brooks/Price residence in Ridgewood, a copy of which is on file at the Bergen County Clerk’s Office, as an “alleged loan.” “Alleged?” Huh? Really Mr. Vagianos? And our mayor has the chutzpah to say this in a crowded meeting room while live on camera. What else can we say here? The man is unbelievable. Good grief!
