Sure and have to deal w the knuckleheads in Ridgewood leadership? They will censor ur speech if ur views differ. Lets put multiple positions on the field and finance ctees for residents
I would love to contribute. I have the knowledge, experience and passion. BUT when I think that I have to sit across SW or PV or anyone else tied to them and their policies I lose any desire. They have won. It is their town. I used to love this town and considered myself lucky to have landed here but now I just live here until I move somewhere else.
No it is temporary. Please don’t give up. If I had a dollar for every resident that says they are just waiting for their kids to get out of school and then they will move, but these bad actors will be gone soon and then they will find something else to ruin, just as they are going to ruin our beautiful village. You might still seem them around, but you can just look down at your feet when you pass them in public. Plus they don’t want people who might actually have a brain. They want puppets.
We can hope, but I am not encouraged.
So very true. Just like all the supervisors. No balls, yes men. Ok, yes, yes, ok , how high do you want me to jump. Ok yes 🫡🤐
Skunks…I’ll stay home and watch the Mets.
Volunteering for the Village takes a lot of dedication and time. And you have to tolerate insults from anonymous trolls on social media sites.
We all don’t agree on all things but life requires compromise. Otherwise we will never move forward.
….and I am certain you too have decided not to volunteer.
Or the only person with any integrity or scruples in the village has to sit on the dais and withstand horrible isults from people trying to emotionally bully them, over and over again. Is that fair? They don’t do it on social media, they do it in person. How insulting and unjustified and they have the nerve to finger point at others. Let’s get real.
The old definition:
Compromise = Wisdom
The new definition:
Compromise = Weakness
Your purpose for volunteering (unless you have been already selected) is to be there to take the blame.
There are people who volunteer for their own personal gain or a gain for their businesses. Getting in and being informed of things where they can benefit financially. Yes, it happens.
