The picture is accurate. The four idiots. Lorraine is the NORMAL one, not in the shot.
Mayor’s restaurant is currently in code violation for having the canopy structure for outdoor dining right on the edge of the curb. Ordinance states 2.5 feet to allow cars in the 3 parking spaces in front of his restaurant the ability to open the passenger side door.
Do as I say, not as I do
No one cares. Other restaurants can do it now.
To the commenter who posted “No one cares. Other restaurants can do it now” , I would say, does that make it right. If everyone is reckless, does that make it right. Where are we going in our society if people can just do what they want because they are the mayor and a business owner. Where you push an agenda that suits your needs. I believe it is about having morals which are clearly lacking. It isn’t about just doing it because others do it. Have some morals and integrity!
Yes, Lorraine is the only one who seems to not have an agenda and highlights the important issues that concern Ridgewood residents and not the priorities based on the popularity context going on with the sports machine!
Well then you should go to the meeting and tell the mayor how you feel. Good luck. The police or the building department are not going to give the mayor s ticket.
Some of us would like to know how much money did the village receive in Covid relief funds. And ware did it go. Some say the village received around 16’. Million. And they still receive tax money to. Something is stinking. Show us.
So, not that this is any surprise, but Paul, Evan and Siobhan voted for the large artificial turf field at Schedler and NO sports people were there. Hmmm…wonder why….cause they already knew. So you tell me that the sports machine doesn’t control the Village Council. That is all they care about. Very sad…your tax dollars at work. Additionally, they are going to probably hire the consultant who has a very shady past despite objection from the only VC member that has a brain. by the way…it was Paul who made the first contact with this consultant, so again no surprise there, obviously birds of a feather…
The fact that both Paul and Evan talk about how Schedler would have been a 7-11 is just insulting. Grown ups that should really be ashamed of their behavior. It is really shocking to say the least.
So instead of 7-11 on the highway, we are getting it at the Duck Pond (and Paramus collects the taxe).
