Reader says Mayor’s letter to the Editor is complete and total bull
This editorial is so well written that you could almost believe it……except that those of us who know him and his sneaky techniques are well aware that it is complete and total bullshit.
He and his two buddies have been nasty, then contrite, then well-behaved, then nasty again, then contrite again….it is just a ridiculous cycle. If there had been one incident of incivility from Aronsohn and Pucciarelli and Hauck, then maybe this stupid editorial would be believable. But this has been a repetitive cycle that never ends, just that right now the mayor is in the contrite phase. The pendulum will swing again, just wait.
This can be compared to spousal abuse in some ways, where the violent person is so very sorry and swears never to do it again…..until the next time. Their repeated behavior from the dais has brought the outspoken outrage of many, many citizens, not just the few hard-core residents who regularly go to the meetings. There have been long lines of people at some Village Council meetings, waiting to go to the microphone and express their disgust with the INCIVILITY of these three elected officials. And, we have also seen and heard such nasty language off the record from them, in the hallways, after the videocameras go off, even during encounters outside of Village Hall. We know you three read the blog incessantly, and you know what incidents of verbal violence you have been involved in. And, in one instance that I know off, a bystander videotaped a certain someone screaming at a village resident.
And regarding the crime (in my opinion it was a crime) against Mike Sedon, the three of them NEVER, not once EVER showed any outrage about that. It was horrifying how they just ignored it. If a couple of citizens had not pushed for an investigation, it never would have gotten underway. Mayor Aronsohn should have used his connections to push push PUSH for answers as to who sent that despicable email to Mike’s employer. He should have left no stone unturned until answers were clearly revealed. This makes it seem pretty obvious that the stones could not be turned, because lurking under one of them is the guilty party. And all indications are that it is someone who had a vested interest in keeping Mr Sedon off the ballot (and he and Ms. Knudsen won by a LANDSLIDE while a certain elected official fumed in the hallway, making a cell call during which outrage over Albano’s loss was clearly and loudly stated).
So, sorry Mayor Paul, your editorial might make you feel all pumped up and proud, but we see it for what it is, empty words from a nasty man.
Pauline reminds me of Bill de Blasio…..
I was think the same thing. In life I have found this to be true. People vilify you in public and after come to you with an apology just to repeat the act again. D.V. is the perfect example. These people are hoping that the will forget what they have done so they can do it to you again. Very few people change this tactic because it has work before.
They lull you into a sense of false security so they can go on the attack again
Yes he does #1 just read his web site
The deputy mayor, on the other hand, never even makes an attempt to apologize or show any level of contrition for his nastiness. So he is not two faced, but his level of nasty vindictiveness exceeds that of the mayor. And then there is Ms. hawk, all pretty and charming on the outside but wow, can she be the queen of mean. If her pretty little smile does not get her what she wants, the fangs come out. Have you read Gone Girl ?????
Funny to see all of there former council members complain unendlessly on this blog, thanks for being such broken records ! You’re all perfectly appropriate characters in the freeze wrapped world of Ridgewood. Get over yourselves !
#5 they are gone for better or worse so let not deflect what the three amigos are doing. Let remember the words of you leader “Moving Forward.
Funny to see that there was no problems with civility with any of the councils in the last ten years. Why is there such a problem at this time #25. Go to your meditation room and ponder that.
No “problems” right, only massive conflicts of interest, from Pfund’s ties to Valley as he passed ordinance 3066 allowing for applications to the Planning Board to amend the Master Plan, Riche’s firm’s contracts with the Village which broke both Village Code and the NJ State Local Government Ethics Law, retroactive pay raises for the former Village Manager, a $500,000 toilet for the guy before him, and 4% annual wage hikes for the past 5 years for Public Safety agreed to by a Council in the depths of recession in 2009/10 versus CPI-based inflation of less than 2% over that period. Taxpayers have been screwed over and over. But that’s “no problem”, right #7?
See Jame The Mayor apologist has covered everybody Told you.
Its all smooth running now that the the Three Amigos are at the helm.
Seems like you’re an apologist for screwing taxpayers #9. Could it be you’re living on an elite taxpayer funded pension which is why you don’t care about the rest of us? No Council is “smooth running”, unless the fix is on. Given all of the taxpayer funded giveaways under previous councils, given Rica’s $500,000 quarters theft, given Pfund got a judge’s seat for all of his efforts, maybe the fix was on in the last ten years ?
