Ridgewood NJ, it is unbelievable that Vagianos and Winograd are doing everything in their power to control the message, squash public comments, ignore the people who they are elected to serve. From censoring (hiding? blocking?) comments on their official Facebook pages, to trying to stop the display of signs at meetings, also cutting off public comments at meetings, stopping (or trying to) residents from naming council members by name, Winograd participating in a highly censored and controlled Facebook group, Vagianos stalling on legal OPRA request fulfillments – the list goes on and on. And Vagianos scolds everyone before public comments even commence – telling them that they have to be civil and so on. That is like yelling at your kids when they have not done anything wrong, just in case they MIGHT do something wrong. We are entitled to FREE AND OPEN speech as long as threats and vulgarity are not part of it. What are they thinking?
Someone said the other night that the ACLU has a dossier on them from citizen complaints. What a mess.

Nothing wrong with reminding people to be civil. Seems like too many folks need that reminder these days.
cheap mortgages bring in the wrong kind of people intro town
civil for a politician means shutup and do what your told
maybe it they stooped lying for 5 minutes
That Moms and Dads fb page is THE WORST. And siobhan drives that bus.
He doesn’t “remind” people to be civil. He reads them the riot act before the first citizen has even spoken. It is so condescending.
The only honest and civil one up there is Lorraine. And she doesn’t talk about it – she just exemplifies it. The others talk about it but do the opposite
Civility is just secret code for “shut up because you do t agree 100 percent with me,” for these people. I guess when everything you say is a lie, such is the case with the current council majority, you need to squash public opinion and questions. If you allow people to enjoy their First Amendment rights in this case you will be exposed as a liar. Therefore tight control of the populous is needed. Too many brain dead democrats in this town will re-elect these shit bags over and over again, so nothing is going to change anytime soon.
