No Issues with Village of Ridgewood IT

Hacker_theridgewoodblog

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, yesterday we reported the Village was having continued issues with computer trouble , the Mayor led off an email with “Apologies for this very late notice (computer issue) regarding tonight’s Village Council Special Public Meeting. The meeting is regarding the Ridgewood Water lawsuit and the hiring of professional services for a rate study in compliance with the  recent court decision of  by Judge Friscia dated  July 20, 2017. This is the only agenda item. Feel free to email questions or comments.”

We interpreted this to mean Village Hall  IT issues but further research into the issue and a quick call to the Mayor and we realized we were off base . The Mayor’s computer crashed , no issues with Village IT , meeting notices went out on schedule and the mayors email was merely a courtesy reminder , which is a nice professional touch .
Its nice to have a Mayor that goes out of her way to remind residents of public meetings and the Ridgewood blog in no way wants to cast dispersion on her effort at transparency.
