Love American Style1

If they were hooking up at the time campaigning for the 2012 election was taking place, that fact should have been disclosed to Ridgewood’s voters. My bet is that Ms. X and Mr. Y would not have won in the 2012 election. I just can’t imagine voters would have knowingly elected 2 admitted adulterers to office. But then again, stranger things have happened around here.

Readers ask was there any unlawful pillow talk?

Ridgewood Village Hall theridgewoodblog.net 6

The most important question is whether any laws beside adultery were violated. They served on the Village Council together for 4 years. Was there any unlawful pillow talk? Did they conspire as a 2 person team to defraud taxpayers in any way? Our current local government administration should request a full investigation by the BCPO’s Office or the State AG’s office.

It’s Gwenn and Paul. This is old news. But begs the question of should the public have been informed of the personal relationship. I mean their votes would be the same right.

the fly has learned that two former council members have been romantically linked……..

fly-on-wall_theridgewoodblog

…the fly has learned that two former council members have been romantically linked .  Its seems affairs of state have led to affairs of the heart. Sadly, the relationship appears to have led to the breakup of both marriages  . During business hours the couple would meet . The affair has driven one husband to flee the Village to a Jersey City condo and a wife to leave with the dogs . It’s been told that the husband laid a video trap and may have engaged a private detective to trail the couple , leaving both in sad state looking worse for the wear.

Ridgewood Water Gives Comprehensive Report keeping our water safe and is complying with EPA guidelines

Jeff Voigt Ridgewood Council

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, Last night at the Village Council meeting, Rich Calbi gave an outstanding (and comprehensive) report on how the Water Company is keeping our water safe and is complying with (and exceeding) EPA guidelines.  He is a great guy, very thorough and although he was speaking about scientific details, it was easy to understand.  Also, it is very helpful that the powerpoint slides are broadcast on the live stream to us at home.  I have been at meetings where you cannot even begin to see what is projected on those relatively small screens.  Thank you Mr. Calbi for your hard work on our behalf.

US-ATTACKS-9/11-ANNIVERSARY

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, Jim Morgan, Vice President of the Ridgewood Board of Education  asks in what some are calling a feud with the Village Council , “What commemorative activity does the village municipal government plan to remember the many friends and relatives of Ridgewood residents that died in the attack? Glen Rock annually has a very moving gathering at their 9/11 Memorial. If Ridgewood has not scheduled anything, I would invite anyone that cares to participate in this civic ceremony. It is scheduled for 6:30 at Veterans Park on Main Street just off Rock Road.”

James,
Please be advised that my comments are personal and are made in my capacity as a Board of Education member. You will note that my posting made no mention of the BOE or my association with the school district. Thanks.

Ridgewood NJ, The Board of Education is simply reneging on an agreement they made to help fund the position of School Resource Officer (SRO).  The Village has already trained three police officers to be school resource officers, so that there will never be a day when one is unavailable to work due to vacations, etc.

Ridgewood NJ, at Wednesday nights council meeting resident Saurabh Dani pointed out and questioned why the Village engineer quoted the Ridgewood Train Station parking lot renovations  at a cost of $200,000 to 220,000 , yet the Village is bonding for $330,000 ?

Dani questioned if the Village was expecting a significant amount of cost over runs for the project or was this an attempt to generate , what he called “house money” , where the left over funds from a capitol project would be incorporated into general funds for the Village and spent ?

Reader says Heather needs to take a daily trip at different times of the day instead of believing what Stacey tells her

IStoesghdikra210000000001 e1534119613472

I would like to see a copy of the lease and actually see what is permitted. Heather needs to take a daily trip at different times of the day instead of believing what Stacey tells her. And since her lease clearly does not have a clause permitting evening drinking parties (How does THAT connect with teaching children healthy living?) Do they pay for permits? Provide insurance to cover uses outside of their original lease? She may have a good idea for a business but not on town owned property. We provide every possible service to her free of charge. If it was not located there she would have to pay for water, electricity for outside lights as well as inside the house, grounds upkeep, etc, etc. All of this she gets for free. We need some camera toting people to photograph the buses, town workers doing everything on her property, and evening parties. I always thought Heather was astute and intelligent but she seems to have been brainwashed by someone on this subject!
