Ridgewood NJ, we have to laugh at this one , NJ.COM is reporting that State Sen. Kevin O’Toole (R-Essex) claims that a threat was made in 2005 by Paul DiGaetano, then a leading Republican assemblyman dreaming about a long-shot bid for governor against him. In the article O’Tool claimed  that he was threatened by Paul DiGaetano in a meeting over his endorsement of DiGaetano for Governor.

Wow is this a case of the pot calling the Kettle black !

The funny thing is that State Sen. Kevin O’Toole is a well know political bully who has threatened his opponents in the past and gone as far as calling their bosses at work claiming they were campaigning on company time and trying to get them fired.

O’Tool has also threatened the Ridgewood blog and it founder , in that instance he made threats from his car on Route 17 north near the Bendex Diner and only backed off when a blog staff member pulled out a camera.

O’Tool is also rumored to be plotting with with Democrat soon to be Former Ridgewood Mayor Paul Aronsohn to make a run for the current seat held by Rep.Scott Garrett (R).

THE RECORD

RIDGEWOOD – Village residents turned to their state senator on Wednesday for answers on how to address years of flooding issues caused by the overflow of the Hohokus Brook.

State Sen. Kevin O’Toole, R-Wayne, toured several back yards on Burnside Place that abut the brook. Some of the houses along the winding road and neighboring streets sustained extensive flood damage during Hurricane Irene in August and in earlier storms, such as Tropical Storm Floyd in 1999.

“I want the … sandbars and rocks out of the Hohokus Brook that have gathered since Floyd,” said Leslie Cimino, whose Burnside Place home sits on less than half an acre abutting the brook and the narrow Zabriskie ditch that is a catch-basin of sorts for water overflow. “I want Ridgewood to take responsibility for cleaning the Zabriskie ditch. The ditch and the brook no longer function the way they are supposed to function. It’s a major concern.”
