Ridgewood NJ, Mayor puts the hammer down on personal attacks during the pubic comment period . After a bitter attack by Rurik Halaby on the council praising former Mayor Paul Aronsohn and former Village manager Roberta Sonnefeld .Halaby called the council unprofessional amateurs at the same time praising the Financial Advisory Committee .Halaby questioned weather the FAC was invited into the village budget discussions.
Once the Ridgewood blog reminds you that in order for the Financial Advisory Committee to be an effective part of the Village governance the following criteria must be met:
Publish clear and realistic by-laws
Post agenda’s of all meetings
Post minutes of all meetings promptly
All members must sign Financial disclosure forms
All members must sign NDA’s or non-disclosure forms
These are professional standards that are used and commonly accepted everywhere in the world.
In the real world this is how you run a financial decision body. It is also important to fill the committee with people who have some experience in finance, not failed or “wannabe” politicians who are promoting their own secret agenda.
Irreverent, irrelevant irritating.
He is angry, predictable and inappropriate. His blind loyalty to the lost cause identified him as a lost cause.
That man needs to move on or run for office himself. I think that he knows that no one would support his candidacy.
sclerotic sycophant
Time for assisted living somewhere far away.
Is this Nick’s father…?
May he shut up forever.
Doesn’t this man have family that can beg him to stop? They also need to take his phone away to keep him off Facebook.
He had a confused post on Facebook today. Showing a church in Manhattan that was surrounded by tall buildings and comparing the church to Mt Carmel.
First, being a congested city is not a goal for Ridgewood
Second, pointing out that the urban church works with the homeless does not have anything to do with the argument against the oversized garage. It does not diminish the OLMC position on the garage.
This man needs a handler.
It’s ironic the juxtaposition of Rurik and Tom Riche’s picture behind him….
Also Wellinghorst, or half of Wellinghorst, which is appropriate since he phoned it in.
Still waiting to see a photo of him being led out of the room in a straight jacket.
