Ridgewood will soon rank #1 in the state for taxes. Every Village administrator thinks money grows on trees and continues to use it wildly without contemplating the effect on the residents. I have actually been told “What’s YOUR problem? THIS is RIDGEWOOD and we can afford ANYTHING.” In many cases we can conveniently forget about losses incurred (Health Barn, Valet program, parking meters, proposed garage etc.) as Ridgewood has plenty of money so we can afford to experiment. The worse thing about the above is that NONE of these esteemed people can open their eyes, ears and noses (some of these actions have raised a huge stink (Health Barn and others) and see the problems, listen to the tax payers, and accomplish anything but throwing good money after bad. And this DOES include everyone running for election as well as others (the School Board etc.)
Agree but I will still support mike and Susan because they are trying…the 4 more years will help, get rid of Jeff. It only takes one bad apple. I am scared if the 2 others get in we will have a repeat of the 3 amigos that were completely on track with personal agendas and favors for friends ( healthbarn ) and publicly humiliated tax payers at meetings. No matter what this council has done or has not done, we do not need more bullies in office ( Hauck) so let’s give them 4 more years to finish what they only had 2 years to start
