Ridgewood NJ, This won’t mean much to new council attendees many long time Village Hall watchers all recall how Tom Riche was treated by Paul, Gwenn and Albert regarding his firm and accusing him of overcharging the village during an emergency situation when the phones were out of order at the Fire House.
It was handled so badly and it was terrible to watch. Funny thing but last year Roberta hired Extel Communications back for a job as it was the lowest bid and the most experienced firm. At the first council meeting of the new council , Extel was hired for several jobs in the water department and Roberta praised Extel on many levels and it was by far the best option for the village.
All we could think of was how personal and vindictive the3 amigos were in wanting to hurt Tom even at he expense of what was good for the village. Everyone who knows Tom knew that he loved Ridgewood and helped in so many ways through his own personal actions and those of his company
