Readers target their Ire toward Valley Fund Raising
A reasonable discussion should have led to a compromise size.
Suing the Village because the legal process didn’t work in your favor is a bunch of bullshit. (and if my taxes go up Valley won’t get my donation$)
I do not like the idea of a ‘tax exempt status’ when the CEO is reportedly paid $3m dollars (as I read here-please correct if inaccurate) AND having Doctors that do not ‘participate’with any insurance (= anesthesiolgists) . Or billing patients for what insurance doesn’t cover… THEN paying the big salaries reported.What is the point of ” donating” ANYTHING to a business that is going out of it’s way to screw an entire town ? As a matter of principle, I shelved the idea of becoming a volunteer. Let them hire someone, since the people who do a highly questionable job of running the place can push some of that money down to those who are really doing the work.I loved the advertisement for the Valley Ball. As Valley sues the Village threatening to raise our taxes and destroy the community, it advertises for the Valley Ball in the middle of the Ridgewood News real estate section. Didn’t have my reading glasses on, but I think it said: “Party like you are on the Titanic. Throw on a dinner jacket and come donate so Valley can devote its dollars to paying lawyers to bring a lawsuit that devalues your property.”Valley’s gall is only surpassed by the gullibility of those who continue to support Valley.I would love to see the list of corporate sponsors for the Ball so I know what stores and restaurants to avoid. What self-respecting Villager (who isn’t on Valley’s social or monetary payroll) is going to attend?
