Reader says if you can’t manage the small stuff then the big stuff is insurmountable in Ridgewood

This is absolutely ridiculous. Why the heck in this day and age can’t these people manage their email messages. They are paid plenty. If someone sends them an email the bounce-back should be timely. It should not be six months old. Shows a total disregard for the citizens who want to contact them. Maybe a minor issue compared to some, but really if you can’t manage the small stuff then the big stuff is insurmountable.

Reader says It’s simple math. The financial condition of the Village is such that new hires are completely out of the question

It’s simple math. The financial condition of the Village is such that new hires are completely out of the question. Unlike the Federal Government that can print money, the Village of Ridgewood can’t. We can all play the blame game of how we got here. Incompetence. Stolen quarters. Nepotism. Unsustainable pension schemes. We can also talk about raising extra revenue. The problem with raising taxes is that Ridgewood competes with other similar jurisdictions, and if you raise taxes here, that raises the incentive to move elsewhere.

Bottom line, guys. Just like the rest of us who work in the real world. You do more with less. I think I speak for many of us when I say that we all are doing jobs that were not very long ago, being done by more people. It sucks, and we go into work each day with an element of worry wondering if it’s our day to get called into HR
