Below is what I emailed to my Travell Men’s Thursday Night Basketball pals. I strongly urge everyone take the time to EMAIL or TEXT their friends directly.
“Hi Guys—
This is my bi-annual Ridgewood political announcement to my Travell men’s. basketball brethren.
Tomorrow, Tuesday May 8 is our Village Council Election. I’m supporting Susan Knudsen and Mike Sedon, who are our current mayor and deputy mayor.
The overdevelopment of Ridgewood is my primary concern. More developers are licking their chops, looking to impose more high density housing projects on Ridgewood. We can’t allow that. RHS is already packed, and will only get more so. We’ll need added police and fire, traffic and parking issues will get worse, and our limited water allowances will get reduced further.
As council members, Mike and Susan fought overdevelopment at every turn. They stopped Valley from doubling in size, they voted against the high density housing projects that our former Mayor pushed on us. They will build a smaller parking garage at a smaller price, in accordance with the Village referendum. I know both Susan and Mike very well, and I assure you, unless you prefer a “City” to a “Village”, you need to get to the polls and vote for them.
In 2012, the WRONG candidate was elected by a 10 VOTE margin, and we have four housing projects about to be built as a result. 10 is all we need for a good Thursday night of hoops. So yes, Travell Men’s Basketball could make or break the future of our Village.
Please vote for Knudsen and Sedon.
Glad to answer any questions.
Thanks.
