the fly wonders if Mayor Aronsohn’s actions toward PSEG put the Village on a collision course

The fly wonders if the Mayors lack of leadership and rather unappreciative behavior toward PSEG  during the Hurricane outage last November  put the Village on a collision coarse with New Jersey’s largest utility .

While the Mayor wished to deflect criticism of his own shortcomings , not a single word of thanks was uttered to the crews of linemen who did all the heard work of getting the system back on line in near freezing temperatures.

The ROBO call attack of the utility in the middle of a statewide crisis may not have been appreciated  and as an 18 year resident commented on this blog :

Dear Mr. Mayor,

Please stop blaming PSE&G for your poor leadership skills in responding to a crisis. After 9 days I finally got power back yesterday. There were 6 trees  and 3 utility poles down on my block. Everyone involved with PSE&G was doing their job, from the local PSE&G crew to the crew from Illinois. It was not a quick fix. 3 poles had to be replaced and all utilities needed to be marked. PSE&G checked every day on the progress and spoke freely about the procedures and steps that needed to occur. Frankly, I was amazed that we got our power back as quickly as we did after seeing and hearing stories of the devastation to residents of Ridgewood, Little Ferry, Moonachie and other communities.  You may have driven around last night (probably the first time) but when a local resident mentioned our problem to you a week ago, you had no idea that our street even existed and never bothered to check on us or visit.

My problem with you Mr. Mayor was your lack of leadership in providing local residents with helpful information. Instead of Robo calling to throw blame on PSE&G, why didn’t you call to tell us where to get hot food, because eating out every meal got to be very expensive. How about calling to say where we could get ice, extra water, computer access, charge our phones, help for our pets, extra blankets, a place to sleep or get warm, or that we were still having garbage pick -up. Not everyone had family to go to or could afford to get a hotel, or a generator and pay the cost to fill it.

In one of your Robo calls you mentioned that we were responsible for taking the tree branches down to recycling center on our own and to not put them in the street. I have no idea of how we are suppose to accomplish that.  Meanwhile you had trucks collecting leaves? That is a perfect example of your pathetic leadership.

You sir, failed to do your job as a mayor, so just stop talking and calling, because frankly I’m tired of hearing from you!!
