PJ Blogger and the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Ridgewood NJ, as previously reported by the Ridgewood blog , Ridgewood’s six largest grassroots advocacy groups have released their Village Council endorsements and all support incumbent Mayor Susan Knudsen and Deputy Mayor Michael Sedon for good reason .
The basis for these unanimous endorsements is the tireless and incredibly ethical work Susan and Mike are doing on behalf of the community. They brought a town that was becoming so painfully divided back together in only two years with an agenda of openness, sharing of information, pragmatic compromise, fiscal intelligence and acting always on behalf of their Ridgewood’s Residents.
The challengers have embarked one of the most slanderous, negative , dishonest campaigns the Village of Ridgewood has ever witnessed . Filling their campaign with a never ending stream of hate filled ,bigoted ,ignorant ,clueless and stupid accusations leveled against not only the Mayor and the Deputy Mayor but also the Ridgewood Police, Ridgewood Fire Department , Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Jamboree, Graydon pool, Irish residents and the Wildscape Association just to name a few.
While the Ridgewood blog has also been attacked , the blog is well organized to dish it right back unlike some of the Villages over civic organizations they are focused on a far higher purposes.
The challengers and their surrogates have though there very behavior demonstrated a complete lack of fitness to run ,hold or even contemplate public office and represent the kind of future the Ridgewood blog warned about with the interjection of Paul Aronsohn and his types into the Ridgewood as well as Bergen county political spectrum .
At this juncture the Ridgewood blog is fully endorsing Mayor Knudsen and Deputy Mayor Sedon as the best suited to represent the Village of Ridgewood into the future. It is time once again for Ridgewood to emerge from the darkness set the standards as to what is expectable in civic behavior and discourse by voting to absolutely reject at every single level the type of garbage being tossed about by the challengers .
We also ask at this time for the removal Hans-Jurgen Lehmann , the Chair of the Village Board of Adjustment who’s behavior and bigoted remarks make him totally unsuitable to serve on any committee or governing body . His outrageous behavior now brings into question ever single decision made by the Board of Adjustment and should be investigated by the Village Attorney to protect taxpayers as well as property owners.
