Ridgewood NJ, the Deputy Mayor was WHITE HOT Wednesday night. After a resident suggested that the Council Majority was being OBSESSIVE about finding a way to shoehorn a huge field onto Schedler she retorted with the following:
“It is not obsessive to fully examine all the options.” HUH ? ! ? Where have you been, Ms. Perron? The options have been fully examined from every angle for years. The huge field has been rejected more than once by the State. You are not examining anything new.
“It is not obsessive to consider various designs.” WHAT? A myriad designs have been drawn, re-drawn, posted, re-posted for YEARS. Where have you been (you do know that you have actually been a council member yourself for more than two years already). This is not a new project. You are looking at designs that have been considered and rejected numerous times. And the Engineering Department has basically been unable to do any other work for weeks now (as in, all their regular work) because you guys are pushing them to draw and draw and draw more unworkable field designs.
“It is not obsessive to look for a legal path that prior councils never thought of.” First of all, Ms. Deputy Mayor, might we remind you that YOU were a part of the prior council. You did not just get elected in November. Secondly, Ms. Deputy Mayor, we see what you are doing – trying to find a way to legally overturn the historic designation of the property and the house. Of course this is something prior councils never thought of. Why would they? As one resident said on Wednesday, it is a GIFT that Ridgewood was granted historic status for this property. Anyway, thank you for announcing and confirming that you will be spending taxpayer dollars on legal fees to try and overturn what cannot be overturned.
And then you said: It is our duty. It is intellectual integrity. Oh give us a BREAK! So freaking high and mighty.
Well, anyway, at least some money was saved on heating the courtroom, because the blistering angry heat coming off this councilwoman broke the thermostat. Since January, the Council meetings are must-see TV.

Add to the list: they are obsessed with disregarding anything and everything the Schedler neighborhood has to say.
Sounds like the Biden Administration.
Yup. Bidet would be proud of them.
Wow. Pammy Girl is as mind boggling as Pauline Boy.
Pammie and Paulie. Two dodo birds.
I loved it when Winograd denied saying anything about a “who done it?” investigation and was told someone had it on tape. Liar, liar pants on fire.
Deputy Mayor and council representative on the Chamber of Commerce. How many barber shops in a 1 mile stretch in the CBD are u targeting.
the previous councilS did zilch to advance the development of that property – other than spend $$ on copper gutters. at least this council is trying to move forward with something.
Nice try
Please stop with this previous council bs. Both Paulie Boy and Pammie Girl were part of the previous council. They did NOTHING about schedler and they KILLED the war memorial. They are a disgrace
Now we are going to spend money on lawyers. Is that better?
Give us all a break
This council email s moving backwards. Because their grandiose plan will never bd approved
I can only hope that the VC sit and read this blog and it makes them think about their actions although somehow I don’t believe that they actually care. What I have seen of late is the worst behavior imaginable. Intellectual integrity is an interesting choice of words. It is defined as follows:
“Intellectual integrity is an aspect or part of integrity proper. It requires being. willing to stand up for your best judgment of the truth, by being willing to act in accordance with that judgment when the need arises. Like other intellectual virtues, intellectual integrity is a character trait” Well, how about demonstrating ACTUAL integrity. As I have come to realize, this council does not listen. In many of the recent meetings, THIS council flows information ONE WAY. People asking real questions about legitimate concerns over health and safety are disregarded and all in an attempt to build a sports complex and overturn the SHPO designation of a historical property. This is selfish and corrupt.
They are willing to spend tons of money on a lawyer to make this happen and see what loopholes they can slither through. Residents all over town are concerned. This is going to be expensive people! Billable hours for an attorney are expensive! Residents are concerned that their well water will be contaminated if an artificial turf field is put down and no one cares. Not the council and not the sports people. Because they will stop at nothing to put in a sports complex. One person called in to suggest that an injunction be filed against the city related to this situation. Is that what people need to do to protect themselves? Perhaps it is time for the media to get involved as everything else is falling on deaf ears.
Perhaps they read “The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck” book.
The Deputy Mayor cracked under the most trifling pressure. She’s no Joe Montana / Joe Namath / Tom Brady / Sam Rayburn / Nancy Pelosi. Generally speaking, vehement denial along or extreme defensiveness is a leading indicator of guilt
Sports people should be presented with any new legal bills. But not let them choose the lawyer.
She and Paul weee totally Obsessive about the Am Legion Giolf Star monument!
It was shameful.
Does Pam Perron know the definition of intellectual integrity? Intellectual integrity involves both seeking and valuing the truth; being systematically critical of truth claims via analyzing assumptions and looking for evidence. DO THE EXPERT STUDIES; health, historical, environmental, traffic, safety etc. With evidence in hand, then and only then do you create a park plan.
Theyre all liberals, they have no integrity. Its the Biden Admin at a local level.
I can only hope that the VC reads public commentary or perhaps their egos are so huge that they don’t care. But they need to understand that their actions have a direct impact on human beings. What I have seen of late is the worst behavior imaginable, all behind the facade of a smile. DM Perron felt that she needed to create a smoke screen as they prepare to spend a gazillion dollars on hiring outside council with tax payer dollars. Intellectual integrity is certainly an interesting choice of words. Well, how about demonstrating ACTUAL integrity. THIS council flows information ONE WAY. People asking real questions about legitimate concerns over health and safety are disregarded and all in an attempt to build a sports complex and overturn the SHPO designation of a historical property. This is selfish and corrupt. They are willing to spend tons of money on a lawyer to make this happen and see what loopholes they can slither through. This is going to be expensive! Billable hours for an attorney are expensive! They will stop at nothing to put in a sports complex for the only group they really care about=the sports families!
Did you ever notice that she never look up from whatever she is reading or writing during public comment. She doesn’t care what residents are saying. Her mind is made up. Pee Wee does it also.
What a scowl.
She looks exhausted.
I guess her and Pee Wee thought we would just lie down and not push back.
sell it to a developer and raise the taxes on the property
I’m worried about the numerous empty storefronts in the CBD & why the roads throughout the village are like rugged terrain. The cut out strips in every street are not being repaired evenly.
Call the County Executives office. Most of the main avenues and roads are COUNTY roads. I’ve tried for years. Can you help?
“I’m worried about the numerous empty storefronts in the CBD” I guess the expert reports were right, it wasn’t a parking shortage after all. This Council majority was the same driver that ignored experts and pushed for the gargantuan, money pit, garage. Remember Progress Ridgewood?
Pam. The look on your face is miserable. You look obsessed.
Pam. Pam. Pam. This really poked you. Didn’t it! The truth hurts.
O B S E S S E D
The village is done. Road department is in over there head. Not being run right.
Pam is an idiot. She knows nothing about budgeting, has zero integrity, and allows herself to be the Vag’s puppet. They are going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on legal fees. Then in the next election enough people will wake up from their Merlot stupor to vote the bums out of office, and after all this wasted time and money nothing will get done. And I thought I was a douche bag.
Zero integrity is right. She refuses to recuse herself from voting on the reappointment of her close friend whenever the friend is up for reappointment as the Village’s public defender.
Records show that Mayor Paul was talking to Peter Primavera in November, almost 4 months before he was elected to the Mayor’s Position??? Why? He wasn’t elected yet. Doesn’t pass the smell test. Also, most of the trees on the Schedler Tract have been cut down with no notice to the residents who have been to every public meeting – was any announcement, notice or due process reviewed before this was performed? Was the Ridgewood Shade Tree Committee alerted and aware of this beforehand? And if so, why did they allow it? Also, survey stakes suddenly appeared spaced for the larger field. What’s going on in Ridgewood??? Seems like they have Autocrats running the place and the residents are just in the way……..
