Ridgewood NJ, you know the old saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Well, check this photo out.

Congratulating Ridgewood Village Clerk Heather Mailander on her 35th anniversary of employment with the Village are, to her left, two of the three Village Council members (Evan Weitz and Pamela Perron) who voted to fire her as Village Manager, and, to her immediate right, a member of the Village Council (Siobhan Winograd) who had previously filed a lawsuit against Mailander in connection with her alleged mishandling of a referendum. (Village Manager Keith Kazmark and Village Attorney Matt Rogers are also pictured.)

  1. 🤨

  2. How can she stand there and smile. I would say just as fake if you can do that surrounded by such callous folk

  3. It is sad though

  4. Honest to God, Siobhan has some nerve standing next to Heather after what she did to Heather

  5. well, she does deserve to be dismissed.

    1. Well the way I see it is that the mayor and majority block need to be dismissed as well. While they might not be paid village employees, they were unfortunately elected on back door scheming and unless you are part of their special projects like the CBD or sports, you won’t reap the benefits. These 3 especially were concocting their little schemes long before even being elected. If you do the math you will see that their reckless spending and poor decisions adds up to way more in tax dollars than Heather’s and Keith’s salaries combined. Vagianos is bad for Ridgewood along with Weitz and Winograd. We almost had to furlough village staff because there was no money, please don’t forget that when you go to vote.

  6. I hope Heather got deloused shortly after this photo was taken.

  7. Here’s another saying for you, “Nothing personal, it’s just business.”

    1. Actually it is all personal to those of us who live here and feel paralyzed by so many of the day to day negative contributors to our daily lives as a result of poor decision making and priorities that benefit a small fraction of people living here. Most residents are fed up with this bunch of bad actors that are causing a ruckuss with their ineffectual decisions and nonsense that can and will have lasting consequences for everyone. We’ve got PFAS in our water supply causing extra monies to be expended to buy water to drink and getting billed extra charges because of it even when our village is suing for millions for wrongdoing as to how it ended up in our water. Where will the lawsuit winnings go? Now we have bought another toxic property. How much is that going to add up to? we are dealing with reckless spending, so much so that we almost had to put village employees on temporary leave because last year there was not enough money in the budget, yet we have money for designer garbage cans, and to pay for fields that are not needed just because Ridgewood cannot seem to maintain what they have. The people who got loud about safety will now get sidewalks and a bridge, but what would have happened if they did not speak out? would anything have been done to address these issues? It is one bad decision after another and is costing taxpayers and bringing what should be one of the best places to live, into a different category altogether.

      1. Don’t forget the 340k pavilion they will be used mainly by a PRIVATE business yes PRIVATE.( All profits go to the owner ) in Habernickel park

  8. It’s time to retire enough is enough.

  9. They put this poor woman through hell and back. I think KK will protect her because he needs her and she knows where all of the bodies are buried. But because these idiots tried to fire her, it ended up costing the village a shit ton of money. That is how dumb they are. So their evil little scheme to try to get rid of her backfired and cost taxpayers because they had to pay her 2 salaries for a while. Not we have Mr. bigshot KK who calls balls and strikes.

    1. He sucks

  10. Time to clean up.

  11. Time for a new Directors -clerk& few more.

  12. What’s amazing is here that she’s receiving recognition and flowers who knows what else for 35 years of service which is all well and good. But what about everybody else that had 20 25, 30, 3540 years of service, what did they get a letter, a small little key, no recognition nothing. We had employees that want above and beyond and save the village a tremendous amount of money some actually justified their salary and I’m not even talking about management. What a shame. How about a list of employees in the past 10 years with the village that have been vested at least Hypocrites , How many employees leave the village after working there for so many years with a bad taste in their mouth.

  13. So very true, it’s amazing and so many workers to treat you like shit. If you are in management, and the police department, the fire department, you get recognition. everyone else gets cold pizza warm soda.

  14. 🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹
