Ridgewood NJ, Questions arise over why the Traffic Study for Hudson Street Parking Deck was not released until after the vote , when some of the Village Council and and the Village manager had access to this key piece of information in October . While both Councilman Michael Sedon and Council Women Susan Knudsen both saw the Masters study when the public viewed it .
According to the Village Manager it was merely an oversight by the Village for not posting it sooner . While the 3 amigos , Paul ,Gwen and Albert stalled in their answer to when the study was available to them , Mike and Susan seemed to indicate they only saw the study recently.
The big dust-up came resident Dana Glazer pushed the issue and Deputy Mayor Albert Pucciarelli as well as Gwen Hauck took offence at the implication . The Village attorney chimed in with a “you can say what you want to the council as long as you agree with them ” ordinance to defuse the tension.
Traffic Study for Hudson Street Parking Deck
Who knew what and when?
This is the link to dana’s remarks. https://youtu.be/neb4TSJ4QsY?t=5h1m14s
You’ve heard the term “wigging out?” Also known as “flipping your wig?” It means flipping our or going wild.
Well, watch our DM, and alter the expression to “toupee-ing out”
Questions arose, yes indeed questions arose. And none, or very few, were ever answered. All the mayor did was tell the speakers that all questions would be answered at the end. And then Pucciarelli started screaming and threatening that he was not going to answer any questions. Good lord, and Aronsohn has the nerve to characterize this as “a conversation???!!!”
Pucciarelli is ridiculously over-sensitive! I’ve never seen someone so touchy…
Yes, John V, very touchy and downright scary. Making a THREAT that someone is going to pay for this? Really> from an elected official. And did you notice the mayor trying to stop him……………no!
Nice picture of the three stooges.
Anything interesting on the old electronic device, Councilwoman Hauck? Haven’t you worn it out yet? How do you dare to sit there looking down (like some people on the Planning Board) while residents pour their hearts out to you?
Masters? Is this for Augusta?
No JohnV he is a Narcissist.
Clinical psychologist Joseph Burgo published the book, “The Narcissist You Know: Defending Yourself Against Extreme Narcissists in an All-About-Me Age.”
There are many types of narcissists that Burgo describes in his book, but “extreme narcissists” are the ones he believes society needs to understand and empathize with. Extreme narcissists can cause harm to themselves and to the people around them.
Burgo describes extreme narcissists as those who have a grandiose sense of self or someone who doesn’t have the ability to empathize with others. Typically, they have a strong sense of entitlement, feel the need to be the center of attention and don’t believe rules should be applied to them. .
. According to Burgo, while extreme narcissits may be at times charming and able to attract people, they are often “abusive and dismissive.”
Extreme narcissists can be found in everyday life, whether at home or at work. Burgo’s simple advice for dealing with a narcissist is simply, “get as far away as possible.”
These people typically see people as “winners and losers and if you challenge them, you’re going to lose,” Burgo said. Not turning into a “loser” may be easier said than done, especially if the person is unavoidable, like a family member or boss.
Burgo said extreme narcissists “are emotionally underdeveloped and are more like a toddler, so don’t expect them to behave the way a peer would.” Don’t challenge them, insight shame, make them feel criticized or personally attacked because they will retaliate, he warned. Burgo recommended setting limits for how they can talk to you in the least confrontational way possible.
I think Hauck is afraid to look at people who attend meetings, particularly when open mic starts. She cannot make eye contact because she is afraid of the masses.
She should be afraid of Paul and Al
“I understand the heart beat, pulse and character of Ridgewood,” Hauck, a third-generation Ridgewood-ite of Habernickel ilk, said in an interview last week at her Colonial West Side home. “I know where it’s been, what would be the right way to go and I’ve been in touch with multi-generations of people – interfacing with residents from all walks of life.”
7:06 – Hauck is absolutely not afraid to look at people who attend meetings. Have you attended any meetings? At one last fall, she started belittling Janine Vellis when Janine spoke up about Health Barn coming to Habernickel. And as Janine walked back to her seat, Gwenn continued, shouting out to Janine about why did she buy a house near Habernickel if she didn’t like it, and so on. It was, to say the least, outrageous. And this past week Gwenn (when she was holding up her cell phone during Albert’s tirade) spoke from the dais calling Anne Loving a bully and a stalker, did you catch that? Anne was holding up her cell phone during Albert’s performance, as by the way were several other people (and not to mention two or three video cameras were running the whole time). Yes, an elected official shouted out that a resident (who was sitting silently in her seat during the grand performance of Albert) was a bully and a stalker. OK, that is two recent examples of her going after residents. And then have you seen her go after Mike Sedon and Susan Knudsen? Gwenn can be (and has been) extraordinarily sarcastic and viciously nasty with her verbal poison darts. She fears no one. And she cannot control herself. Roberta had to rush over and tell Gwenn to put her cell phone down. Cell phones are not allowed to be in use by elected officials during public meetings.
You are wrong if you think Hauck is afraid to look at people. She is not afraid of the masses. She is a very mean, vindictive and nasty woman.
9:02 – yes, and what about when Gwenn suggested that the people in the Schedler neighborhood never should have bought houses in that neighborhood in the first place? She is a mean girl, she ought to try out for a part in one of those TV shows.
9:02 I thought Roberta went to tell Gwenn that she can use Roberts Rules to not answer that question. I don’t think she went there to ask her to put her cell phone down.
12:47 – Why would Roberta pick Gwenn to call for order in the room? Gwenn was off the charts herself. Why not ask someone reasonable like Susan or Michael. I think Roberta was trying to get Gwenn to stop acting like an idiot. She was an embarrassment to herself and to the town.
9:40 because Dana asked a question to Gwenn and my guess is that Roberta did not want Gwenn to answer that question .. so she went to her to tell her that “pull the roberts rule and say he is not supposed to poll individual coincilmen and don’t answer this question”. This is just my guess.
For sure Gwenn must be managed by an adult in the room or by someone texting her what to say.
