Readers says Demand that the council represent the residents of Ridgewood by getting all of the facts before voting on the residence ordinance
People need to go to the council meeting on April 8th and demand that they NOT vote on the residence ordinance until there is full transparency on what is going on.
We need to demand that Ridgewood residents get a preference when the village is hiring. As long as the qualifications are equal, Ridgewood residents should get preference. We are the one’s paying the taxes or the high rents to live here. Why shouldn’t we be the one’s to work here as long as we are qualified. There is something going on here that smells bad. Who have they hired not following the civil service rules? I bet there were many. This all needs to get out in the open. Councilwoman Knudsen should be supplied with the information she is asking for and not be stonewalled for a month. The residents need to get their heads out of the sand and wake up. Do you understand what is going on right in front of us? This is an incredibly bad situation and needs to be clarified before any vote is taken.
Go to the council meeting, Wednesday, April 8th, 8:00pm at village hall. Demand that the council represent the residents of Ridgewood by getting all of the facts before voting on the ordinance before them. Let’s get everything out in the open. After all, the mayor’s favorite term is “transparency in government.” I think it’s time the village had some of that transparency.
Can’t Ridgewood residents who apply for these jobs move out of Ridgewood once they get the job working for the town?
yes they can.
who of the top manager staff are getting pay bonus’s or pay stipend’s for cutting the work force , or out sourcing work , or just saving money. we need a list.
thank you.
BOYD FOR MAYOR
What is the problem that the council is trying to solve? They need a better pool of applicants?
If two applicants have equal qualifications, the resident should get the position if someone from another town is more qualified are they currently allowed to hire that person!
Maybe just maybe they have some friends who are not Ridgewood resident that need a job .
