Ridgewood NJ, Jim Morgan, Vice President of the Ridgewood Board of Education asks in what some are calling a feud with the Village Council , “What commemorative activity does the village municipal government plan to remember the many friends and relatives of Ridgewood residents that died in the attack? Glen Rock annually has a very moving gathering at their 9/11 Memorial. If Ridgewood has not scheduled anything, I would invite anyone that cares to participate in this civic ceremony. It is scheduled for 6:30 at Veterans Park on Main Street just off Rock Road.”

Jim Morgan, get over you pompous self.
Good one.

A little CYA and misdirection since the schools are doing little to nothing to commemorate 9/11.

Not that we want to take on more debt (Ramon Hache) and have our taxes increased (Mike Barker), but let’s please stop spending money on things that aren’t impactful (e.g. $200,000 for a garbage truck!).
Let’s instead redirect our hard-earned tax dollars to something significantly more important: honoring our fallen patriots!
This town is a becoming a joke. We’ve lost any aspiration to resemble the likes to Greenwich, CT. Soon, we’ll be the functional and aesthetic equivalent of, um, Paterson.
