If it aint broke – don’t fix it.
As to using the theft as a justification for implementing new meters – it is not the METERS fault that there was theft – it was the criminals fault – and if you “blame” the cash for “causing” the theft – then do you also blame the woman for her clothing or actions for “causing” the rape?
The problem is NOT the coin meters. The problem is the inadequate security and accountability provided around the collected money and the unwillingness to FULLY PROSECUTE and FULLY RECOVER the money.
But lets not address the REAL issue – lets implement new meters so we can waste more taxpayer money and line the pockets of a “friend” vendor and provide another data collection point to track citizens and then allow the coin money (and personal data) to be electronically stolen by overseas thieves.
The Justice System in NJ is a broken Joke.
Crime does pay.
and the entire world knows it pays in Ridgewood… we are the laughingstock of the world
well, not the world…but most certianly bergen county and New Jersey.
Heh. The other day I was going down Lincoln avenue, and on the corner of Diamond Bridge, the Hawthorne FD were collecting donations.
I considered telling them that as a Ridgewood taxpayer, I had already made my donation to Hawthorne…all they had to do was go to to Thomas Rica’s house to collect.
I didn’t say it though…those guys don’t deserve the aggravation. So I gave them a dollar. What’s another dollar when $460,000 are so easily parted with?
