Follow the money….there’s no other explanation….
The current Council should allow the voters to decide the future of Ridgewood. As it stands, our current Council majority is poised to give Valley and the developers every single thing they’re asking for. There are 3 candidates running that favor more moderate and better planned development and 3 that will continue the current Council majority’s siding with the development special interest groups. If voters put the 3 moderates in office, then the projects should all be put on hold and re-evaluated. If the voters side with builders then let them build. Let’s hope that the current Council majority sees it this way though I think that’s a long shot.
Aronsohn has been working toward tonight for eight years. All 25,000 residents, including infants, could protest tonight and he would hold his ground. He needs the financial support of construction unions statewide for his bid for higher office. As a lifelong Democrat I would have a very big problem in any such election because I have always considered staying home on election day to be cowardly and unpatriotic. But it might happen.
