Readers Begin to talk RECALL
All I can say is that if you don’t like what went on here then sign the RECALL PETITION when it comes around and believe me it coming around. A councilperson that signs a Ordinance and then claims that it was someone else fault does not deserve to be in office. Take responsibility for action.
New Jersey*
Const. Art. 1, §2(b)
Any elected official in the state or representing the state in the United States Congress. Includes local officials.
Recall may not commence during first year in office.
No specific grounds are required
Time for gathering signatures is 160 days.
Signature requirement is number equal to 25% of the registered voters of the district
If the Christmas trees could talk they would agree with any recall petition that gets started.
Is Bernie leaving because of the dysfunction on the council…?
I’ll believe it when I see it. Loads of whiners on this Blog, but no action other than whining ever seems to happen.
#2 would you sign it if it came around?
I’m not number 2 but if it comes around I would sign it. I voted for these people hoping that thing would change but they have only gotten worse. We need a council that works for all the residents . Their infighting and their inability to resolve issues that face this town shows that they are not the right people for the job. I have lived in this town a long time and I can not remember council people fighting in public like this council. No decorum what so ever.
I’ll sign it and I have signed numerous petitions around the Country. guess #1 & #2 your constitutional rights don’t matter to you. If the American flag offends you, I would be happy to help you pack. In Iran, I believe they do behead you if you speak out, maybe you’re OK with that.As I said, why have a legal system at all? You think spying, hacking, bugging phones and houses are OK? Maybe you could get some free house siding or a new roof out of the insanity of a young girl too, then. I’m sure, no, I know, Americans did not fight wars and are fighting wars now to have our Civil rights violated right here in Ridgewood, NJ, or anywhere in the Country. Senators are working around the clock to end this. You might not be so obtuse if you really knew what was really happening or it was your family. Maybe you should really find out the facts.
Please go to Change.org & sign. so many Americans are victims of this. Please do not participate in what is essentially murder. It is happening in 2 other towns in NJ too. How do you know it won’t be you?
Did you get your new property tax bill? What the hell happened. Thanks Mayor. Think you could use some of my tax money to pick up the leaves, the Christmas tress, and pave the roads. Just saying! It the little thing that mean a lot not ramps parking garage ,apartment building,parks,ball fields.. At the end of the day when people see leaves and Christmas tress in the street for over a month they are not happy.
My value of my house went down, but taxes went up. Did this happen to everyone too?
Here it is Feb 3rd. The next meeting of the Council is Feb 5th and still no agenda posted on line. GET IT! We all know there will be TECHNICAL problem that night unless the three amigos have all their supports coming to stack the meeting. Then every resident will get a free copy of that meeting.
Yes number 7. I’m just dissected with this town.
#8 rember everybody! The meeting is also posted online at ustream.com. just in case we have more “technical difficulties”
I’m sorry (disgusted )
#8 Well, “they” don’t want you prepared, get it? “They” are going to get their way or “They” will get you. Yes, “they” will have technical problems, but “they” don’t care because “they” have lots of money, so “they” get what “they” wants. Don’t “they” always?
Whose name will be on the recall petition? Is it the mayor, deputy or Hauck?
If the value of your house went down, so did all of the others. But we still have to split up the tax burden among all.
It probably happened if you don’t have a million + dollar house. Those houses came down considerably in value more than a 450-650k house.
The tax burden gets divided amongst the homes by assessed value so the big dollar houses that used to carry the burden got a semi-better deal this time around. Hope its just temporary .
#13 it could be anyone of them or all three.I would have to believe that each petition would only have one name on it so you could sign what you want.
#13 how do we get these petitions
Don’t know as of this time. The wheels are in motion. I would image that the recall election will be at the same time as the council elections this summer.
I would hope members of CRR and the other group that’s try to get reasonable building in the CBD are reading this along with The Peserve Graydon people
Well I guess it like an election a couple of people not afraid of retaliation walking around house to house getting signature. Host coffees at some house. Thing like that. We just have to find out how many people voted in the last mun. election and get a 1/4 of number.
I’m in.
This retaliation business, let’s put an end to that. What if we don’t get our way, we will get you? No wonder the Mayor is friends with Christie. Let’s start a petition against that! I’m in for both!
I wounder if Aronsohn is related to Christie. They sure act the same in many aspects
No salt for the roads what next. We need to get those petitions out.
