“it seems to me that the Ridgewood Village council are hell bent on destroying local businesses. Who would have thought that Ridgewood would have the same, bloody-minded, corrupt and self-destructive “administration” as NYC? Why are they so determined to finish off the local economy?

Reader says , “We need a healthy business ecosystem to keep our state running”

CBD

“Our businesses need to open. If they don’t we are cutting them off at the knees and what comes of this owners and employees? These “non-essential businesses “ are essential to them and their families. Consumers are still going to make their own decisions on their level of comfort. Let them innovate and honor reasonable practices to keep their patrons and employees safe. Otherwise, they become wards of the state when you give them no alternative. We overspend in this state to begin with, and then we put it on the backs of the tax payers already burdened with some of the highest taxes in the country? The result? Everyone loses. We need a healthy business ecosystem to keep our states running. In the face of a pandemic there are practices and precautions to exercise. But closing businesses is killing our state and continuing the mass exit from a state who levies the burden upon its residents in epic proportions.”

Reader Tells the Governor ,”You Can’t ask for money for a problem you created Murphy”

Phill Murphy -Sara Medina del Castillo

“You Can’t ask for money for a problem you created murphy. Shouldn’t have kept small businesses closed for so long. You destroyed lives to save lives. Now alot of us will have to move because even with any federal aid you will raise taxes. You put all your hopes into federal money and on top of that the people you keep asking for money you paint them as villains. Money doesn’t grow on trees; we are already heading towards hyperinflation. You’ve already proven you can’t manage a state budget. You spend money like water and refuse to make the necessary cuts needed to balance the budget. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. From the republican side we blame your leaders for their decisions for their irresponsible spending. You can scream, cry, threaten, complain but at the end of the day you’ll be held accountable for NJ’s suffering. Obviously democratic leadership has created more poverty like it does in every democratic run state. Learn how to manage your funds and stop playing victim. You shut down NJ and then locked up, fined, & threatened to revoke license to any small business that tried to reopen to survive this pandemic. Those were your executive orders nobody else’s. You will be held accountable. NJ needs new leadership, republican leadership but since that wont ever happen NJs economy will never get better because all democrats do is spend & raise taxes. Someone take Murphy’s checkbook away already.”

Ridgewood NJ, Senator Michael Testa today challenged the Governor to do better after a press event Thursday announcing Murphy’s program for small businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As usual, this over-hyped announcement was polished up with a fancy title and livestreamed on the Governor’s YouTube channel. Despite the Wall Street-style branding, the new program fails more small businesses than it helps,” said Testa (R-1). “Murphy can do better. Before the first application arrives, he should expand the program so it can help desperate mom-and-pop businesses in every corner of the state.
