Between Valley, Pfund, and Aronsohn, and the connections there are far too close for comfort, Ridgewood has been infested and overcome by a nasty virus for which there seems to be no vaccine. We can try on May 10 but the damage is done; guided by professional marketers and funded by construction unions and others, they craftily played the long game and won. Every possible committee, board, and commission (including a couple that hadn’t even existed before: Financial Advisory, etc.) as well as the council itself was carefully padded with acolytes, lackies, and the self-righteous and selfish who were promised various things to vote as instructed. They duly complied and what a mess we are in. In the history of Ridgewood there are various enemies of the state but Pfund and Aronsohn take the lead.
