Supporters of Ridgewood EMS response plan staffed by per diems strike back on Facebook
by the staff of the Ridgewood Blog
Ridgewood NJ, For those of you who believe that the opportunity to post anonymously on the Ridgewood Blog is unwarranted/in poor taste, check this out. This is what happened to a person who posted an opposing opinion on Facebook:
Reader says, “Forums for digital congregation that daily display integrity and respect for First Amendment rights are sadly becoming rare in the United States”
“Forums for digital congregation that daily display integrity and respect for First Amendment rights are sadly becoming rare in the United States. The ones that are still hanging in there, still remaining true to their founding principals, still swinging the bat in eager emulation of the pre-strikeout version of “Mighty Casey”, are doing so in the face of growing intolerance and thuggish intimidation.”

UPDATE : Fake News, Cover-ups, Intimidation, and Crummy Newspapers – No, we are not talking about the Nation, we’re talking about our little hamlet of Ridgewood
By the staff of The Ridgewood Blog
Ridgewood NJ, Late last summer a reporter employed by The Record newspaper, submitted an Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request to the Village Clerk’s office that asked for some information from all five elected Council members. Four of the five complied in a timely fashion, as required BY LAW. Councilman Jeffrey Voigt, however, delayed his response. When he finally did respond, he included a fictitious narrative that was not what the reporter had requested. Actually, even if his narrative had been factual, this would not have been in compliance with OPRA, as you are not supposed to CREATE DOCUMENTS when supplying information via the OPRA process. The fact that Councilman Voigt’s response was full of untruths just compounded the violation.
Millennials
PJ Blogger
Ridgewood NJ, so what is it about those”Millennials” , to many adults its a generation devoid of creativity, work ethic and independent thinking . They demonstrate a general lack of understanding of the basic laws of economics and even the fundamental ability to act in their own best interest.
Continue reading MillennialsReader says , ” those who hesitate to post on FB are the ones who fear that the BOE would go after their kids”
just as some people hesitate to post on Facebook because of “various reasons,” on the flip side some people post planted information on FB even if they don’t believe it. If you work for an organization, for example, you might hate every person who supervises you, but still you would post praise in order to keep your job.
In the case of this BOE mess, I think those who hesitate to post on FB are the ones who fear that the BOE would go after their kids in some way if negative postings came from the parents. And if you think this is a stretch, you are wrong, it has happened many times.
So the BLOG is the one place where everyone can be honest. I am betting that HASA president or whatever she is might be posting completely different opinions here on The BLOG.
LONG LIVE THE BLOG
