Anne is making some serious mistakes and she’s been brainwashed by her blond “friend”. You know, the one who does alllll the bidding for the dark side and causes massive trouble no matter what organization she’s involved with…? Name drops at every turn and isn’t actually suave enough to DO anything herself.
Well, Anne has managed to take the league of women voters and turn it in to a mouthpiece for Paul in a matter of the less than half a year she’s been in control. Bye bye Anne.

Ridgewood NJ, We have just learned from PSEG that the planned final paving of W. Glen Ave will be delayed until the Spring due to the late completion of the project and curbing required by Bergen County. W. Glen Ave is a county road and for that reason their regulations must be followed.

ROBBINSVILLE — Don’t even think about tailgating at any of the 23 high school football sectional finals that will be played this weekend around New Jersey.
The New Jersey State Interstate Athletic Association issued a ban on parking lot festivities at the four sites hosting championship games Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
In a statement issued Monday reminding fans that its events are drug and alcohol free, the governing body for high school sports in the state also said, “tailgating is strictly prohibited.”
“When you attend an NFL or Big Ten football game, for example, the entire environment is dedicated to fan entertainment,” NJSIAA Executive Director Steve Timko said in a statement. “But high school sports are different — even a state championship football game contested at Met Life Stadium is an extension of the classroom. And you don’t allow alcohol, drugs or tailgating at school.”

Ridgewood NJ, New Jersey State Senator Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg has released her 2016 Women’s Power List, an annual compilation of the most powerful and influential women in New Jersey. Valley Health System is proud to announce that Audrey Meyers, President and CEO of The Valley Hospital and Valley Health System, has been named to this prestigious list for the second consecutive year.
Stated Senator Weinberg, “A big thank you to all the strong and successful women in Trenton and around the state — far too many to name — who continue to add cracks to the glass ceiling, and who I know will contribute to the effort to finally shatter it.”
“I congratulate all the women named to Senator Weinberg’s Power list, and am proud to be included among them,” said Meyers.
Judge a person by the company they keep. Aronsohn and the League of Women’s Voters President Anne Burton Walsh were hanging out together that day. Anne Burton Walsh…..not impressed with your choice of companion. Not at all.
Aronsohn is going to run for something else, which of course will give all of us the opportunity to vote against him and for sure to campaign against him. What the hell reason did he have to be at the event on Saturday? Come on, get real. He does not have little kids. He does not have a business in the CBD. He is not in the Ridgewood Guild or the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce. He does not believe in Santa. He is not an elected official. If he was there, and apparently he was, then it was to advance his own devious agenda.
