Lets build a big garage and cave in to the teachers…. c’mon guys… we can do it — we can get into the top 10… lets all pull together !!
Complete fucking joke….,TIME TO RISE UP!
The average residential property tax in Ridgewood is actually now $18,000 as of 2018/19 tax year… just as state & local tax deductions are limited to $10,000. What are the BOE and Village Council doing to help Ridgewood families keep food on their tables and gas in their cars given higher commuter pass costs, tolls, higher parking permit fees, higher Graydon and tennis pass fees, etc? And where are the vaunted schools & Village services those taxes are paying for ? In the tank.
