Jeff Voigt : New council members will be determining the fate of our Village of Ridgewood for years to come

Jeff Voigt Ridgewood

Dear Village of Ridgewood Resident:

It is important for those voting in the upcoming election to consider who you are voting for as; the new council members will be determining the fate of our Village for years to come.  The following video describes why.   It has been my position all along that we need to develop the downtown of Ridgewood in a sensible and pragmatic way such that the character of our town is maintained; not only in its look and feel but in how many people we can reasonably accommodate – which in turn affects how we treat each other.   Don’t get me wrong – I am for development.  However, too much development will likely result in overcrowding in our downtown and; will create a different dynamic in our dealings with each other.  The slate of Evan Weitz, Janice Willet and Richard Brooks will aggressively move forward with the policies of the current council majority.  These policies benefit the few to the detriment of the many.  Thus the bad policy making and mismanagement of  Aronsohn, Pucciarelli, and Hauck will be perpetuated.  If this is a concern of yours and you do not want our Village turned into something different – I would ask for your vote.   My first priority is to ensure I do what is best for the entire Village and not for special interests.

The Future of Ridgewood: Hoboken police chief ‘disturbed’ after 15 arrested at annual Lepre-Con bar crawl

HOBOKEN – Police Chief Ken Ferrante is speaking out after 15 people were arrested and dozens of others ticketed after this year’s annual Lepre-Con bar crawl.

In a statement, the chief said he was “disturbed” by what he called repeated issues with revelers at the St. Patrick’s Day-themed event, sponsored by a private promoter and local watering holes.

Arrests this year increased by four over 2015, and Ferrante specifically cited the arrest of a former college football player for allegedly breaking a city officer’s ribs and dislocating another’s shoulder.

“I will not tolerate having any of our officers injured, for the purposes of a few to make a financial profit at the expense of our residents, and for the purposes of promoting deviant behavior attached to various holidays, which results in citizens and officers being hospitalized!” he said.
