Ridgewood NJ, Councilwoman Bernadette Walsh resigned at last nights Village Council meeting effective immediately. Ms. Walsh says she is moving out of state . Bernie has been a part of Ridgewood politics for a long time and this was her third term on the council and she had less than two years into it.
There will be a special election held in November to fill the vacant council seat . This does not leave much time for candidates to collect signatures for petitions which are due in early September .
Councilwomen Walsh served the Village Council in the following:
Council Representative to the Field Committee of the Village of Ridgewood
Council Representative to the Ridgewood Board of Education
Council Representative to the Parks, Recreation, and Conservation Board
Council Representative to the Stigma Free Task Force
Council Representative to the Kasschau Memorial Shell Committee
Looks like Republicans are slowly leaving the town.
Two of my neighbors just sold and moved out.
Bye
“slowly” leaving town? funny…
Thank you for your service.
A thankless job but it must have been fun watching Paulie and Gwen trying to act like they weren’t banging each other.
So who’s in line to be next .
Thank you for your years of helping run the beautiful town of Ridgewood. Thank you for your patience, your energy, your kindness.
Rats out of the sinking ship… wait till the back story cones out….
Beautiful town is now laughing stock of the county..
Let’s give her some respect as she exits, it truly is a thankless job and one that requires a thick skin. I would like to see her critics (or any of the council members critics) run for the spot, see how they do in this role.
The next sucker , will be??????????
The flushing sounds of Ridgewood down the toilet get louder…
Councilwoman Walsh cares about Ridgewood that is why she served. Thank you for your service for the residents. Good luck!
Ah yes another one saying fuck it to Jersey , Ridgewood and absured taxes.
It should be you know who.
