Ridgewood NJ, Councilmen Voigt was caught in what appeared to be conspiring with the Alfred P. Doblin ,NorthJersey media from the Bergen Record on Gay Flag issue . Voigt was caught in what looked like an attempt to undermine the council . Sounds like an Aronsohn move.
A reader commented , “Wedge issue, Voigt just fed his council colleagues a cr** sandwich. They willingly ate it and will now need to live with the electoral consequences. Snap prediction: neither Knudsen nor Sedon will end up running for re-election. Four members of the Council just revealed themselves as soft-minded, and the fifth, a devious alinskyite and a dedicated Aronsohn-style progressive. What a disaster.”
Reader says, “He doesn’t have the chops for this and ought to resign. Machiavelli would have deplored his childish outbursts and petulant behavior. Last night, outraged at having been discovered in his supposedly secret machinations that were actually on the public record because he used his official email address, he stormed out of the building before the closed session, probably to the relief of the other four council members who were about discuss items such as…bullying. Jeff, you’re demonstrating precisely the attitudes and alliances we feared. The years when three good council candidates must be found are tough! We did the best we could in 2016, but it wasn’t good enough.”
What do you mean by conspiring. His letter to the Record? It sounded like an honest opinion to me. I don’t agree with him, and I expressed myself at the council meeting, but I don’t get the conspiring part. Can’t people have different opinions on this blog? On any issue?
To think I voted for this moron turns my stomach.
And I don’t care what sandwich Knudsen had . She won’t get my or my family vote again and neither will any of the other weak minded members who bent to political correctness on the gay flag issue. I won’t be surprised if they bend to the other request of gay community to fly the flag at village hall in addition to Van Neste . Rwg is turning into rainbow haven. Laughing stock of NJ.
Kudos to HoHoKus. They won’t be flying any flag other than Stars and Stripes .
Caught?
It worked and there will be no consequence.
He got his way.
Sleazy politician in the Aronsohn mold…
Team Hackensack now owns Voight. They are now planning to ride back into power on the back of ‘homophobia’ when the mayor and deputy mayor are up for reelection.
And by the looks of some of the unhinged public bullying and craven johnny-come-lately flag waving display going on, it seems like a good strategy.
The character assassinations continue unabated on this blog, must be the Lovings
Curious- the Community Relations Advisory Board of Ridgewood and Glen Rock is harassing the hell out the Ridgewood Village Council/Mayor in requesting the pride flag be flown at our Town Hall. Are they requesting the same from Glen Rock Council/Mayor? What say you Jeff Voigt? Pretty sure this smells of town politics especially when you consider Jeff Voigt is best friends w Hans Lehman who is married to Jan Phillips, Chair of CRAB. Disgusting. They say this isn’t political but it is. CRAB is politicizing this. All roads lead to Aronson-also a member of CRAB.
RESIGN NOW JEFF. BEFORE THE RESIDENTS OF RIDGEWOOD RECALL YOU.
Do you know why good people don’t run for office?
Because to a large vocal minority, there is always evil and conspiracy theories in things they don’t agree with.
Please go read a book on Democracy? We are not supposed to agree on everything. That only happens in North Korea.
For the record, I believe the only flag that should fly at Village Hall (government building) is The American Flag.
Maybe you could also fly the NJ State Flag. Nothing else.
You can fly whatever you want at Van Nest Square, (public square) except a Dallas Cowboy flag.
Only one flag the stars and stripes otherwise we will have all kinds of nut cases with there flags wanted to be flown on village property.
If the Ridgewood chapter of the Confederate States of America Historical Society were to have their petition to fly their organization’s flag (the Stars and Bars battle flag) turned down, they would sue, successfully, and for plenty of money. If they received approval and their flag were raised over Van Neste Square, George Soros and his highly paid ninja-clad Antifa rioters would reduce Ridgewood to rubble in the space of three days. Village Council, you have brought this circumstance about by your foolishness and incapacity to ask your hired legal gun the right combination of questions. What are we to do with you? Send all five of you to a remedial Muni Law workshop in Atlantic City for the weekend? The Mayor and Deputy Mayor, up for re-election next year, need to get religion (small “r”) pronto.
Voigt should resign. Something is wrong with him and he needs the help of a mental health professional. Jumps up from his seat and goes after Heather and from audience can’t hear what he says but it not looking pretty. If you listen on youtube he says he’s f*ing pissed. He needs help soon. Why can’t he control himself? His aronsohnesque oped is shameless. the two-bit opportunist got caught with his pants down and if knudsen has his email then he’s caught in a big lie. Did she find it?
Voight is an embarrassment and should resign. How many more time does will we have to watch this unhinged wacko?
Did other council see him attack the the village manager? Where was Matt Rogers? Why didn’t anyone help? Heather is always nice and didn’t deserve.
Way out of line. Didn’t aronsohn go after gabbert?
the village crew is going to get caught just like the white house . we love it .
can u say dirty dirty dirty.
Too smart for his own good….
Hahaha “character assassinations” – you cannot assassinate a character that is already been destroyed. Jeff Voigt has destroyed his own reputation, which he managed to do completely on his own. Poor Jeff, cornered like a wounded animal, desperately trying to blame someone else.
6:27 – everyone who was there saw him go after Heather. Including a police captain and the fire chief. And yes, it was way out of line.
Voigt is going to get caught just like Hillary . we love it .
can u say dirty dirty dirty.
Jeff Voigt and Evan Weitz have made repeated attempts to assassinate the character of Mayor Knudsen. Along with the help of Paul Aronsohn, Roberta Sonenfeld, and Jan Civility Phillips. Fortunately, the Mayor is above board and beyond reproach, so their repeated volleys of verbal munitions have simply bounced off the mayor. And they have bounced right back to the low life small minded Voigt crew and they are starting to be seen for their true tainted colors.
He’s a sitting Council member 8:01, and you’ve just ignored his right to his own opinion and free speech. If he wants to send a letter to the editor it’s his right as an American citizen and as a Council member. Just because Sue Knudsen felt the need to file an OPRA request to see his e-mail doesn’t mean he did anything wrong. Doesn’t she have a Facebook page that looks like it’s an official Village sponsored page, but is in fact Her personal page?
This post mentions a “WE”… it says, “Jeff, you’re demonstrating precisely the attitudes and alliances WE feared… WE did the best WE could in 2014, but it wasn’t good enough.” It sound like there is a concerted effort to scam Village taxpayers by this “WE” group who so viciously attacks anyone who would dare disagree with the Council majority and Mayor. The group includes many of the regular posters and contributors to this blog, as well as at least three of the current Council. I, for one, cannot wait to out this group for their ethics violations, scams to enrich their families, and outright poor behavior blocking any change or progress in Ridgewood.
Uhhh, how do you send a letter to the editor if not by e-mail these days? How is that conspiratorial or conspiring with the editor? You people need a different hobby then your constant OPRA driven attacks on people with differing opinions. The Marxist Mayor’s days are surely numbered when her and her attack dogs are making OPRA requests against fellow Council members, and then twisting it in to a “conspiracy” on this blog and on their personal social media pages. Dirty, dirty, dirty…
No idea Boyd why you keep protecting the poor behavior on this Council
this crew is very dirty . they think they can do what ever they like. time to clean house from the top.
5:26. Jeff Voigt! we know it is you, calling the citizens ATTACK DOGS. All the attack dogs voted for you and guess what we will remove you from office too. Your dais days are numbered, and the number is very small. Bye bye.
What a deplorable far left loon, Jeff Voigt. It’s about time we elect good ole American loving CONSERVATIVEs to rebuild this town!
I can’t keep track of this guy. He started with setting up a table in front of Mount Carmel to collect signatures against the garage. Then he turns around and starts pounding the table to build the garage. He was bashing Paulie A. during the campaign and now he’s doing his bidding . Our Mayor went above and beyond to get Voigt elected. He then turns around and stabs her in the back. He was being helped by a very active and vocal group during the campaign. After he wins, he now calls them “attack dogs” and is critical of their tactics while he himself tells people to go up to the podium with rehearsed questions. The good thing is that every time he sends his buddies up there like Hans, Evan and Rurik, they get embarrassed with real facts. Out of the gate, he wanted to launch investigations against the people he is now siding with. I think I’m dizzy. How can we do a recall?
Sour Apples, yes, yes, a thousand times YES I totally agree with you!
