We can complain about the total inability of our current Council to do ANYTHING but spend until we are blue in the face. The fact is THEY DON’T CARE! I, personally can’t believe that they would stoop so low as to sell their votes, but the money trail leads directly from them outwards to all the useless, unnecessary and unfair monetary decisions they have made. Raising everyone’s parking rate to build a garage to support the housing that should never be being built. Ignoring the fact that the neighboring towns have been meeting to find some way to reduce their assessments to meet the court’s decision. Do you think they are really satisfied with Ridgewood’s decision to hire a “water expert” to tell them they actually underpaid? But we have to rush quickly to spend THEIR money on our new water building? Are the majority of our council members actually insane or are they trying to pretend insanity so they can’t be held responsible for any decisions they make to throw money away? I am truly beginning to wonder.
What till they starting sell assets to pay for these thing. Remember these thing next election even id they run for office other the VOR council.
Given SALT deductions are now limited to $10,000 for property taxes, shouldn’t the Council and BOE be aware that the vast majority of Ridgewood residents have seen an effective tax INCREASE and be looking for ways to reduce the burden? Realized sales values suggest home values will need to decline in the next assessment, so unless they jack up the mill rate, municipal tax revenue levels are unsustainable?
THEY DON’T CARE!! They are like the Emperor with no clothes. All of the voters can see how wasteful and ignorant they are but they don’t care and go along merrily spending money that we, and they don’t have. If you thought that Paul is corrupt , take a look at the group we have now.
You all voted for them… Don’t complain
