Ridgewood NJ, And when you dig in to the Walker Report 2015 , it gets worse. In 2017, the village hiked annual parking pass rates 25%. That money went right into the general fund for the village. The village has already accounted for and already spends that new $ and every other dime of parking fees it collects and still taxes rise. So if the current intake of taxpayer dollars and parking fees can’t support the village expenses, how would the additional $1.4 million dollars/year in garage expenses for the next 30 years get paid when the next round of proposed parking rake hikes only adds up to $325k a year?
“The village has already accounted for and already spends…” LOL! Oh they spend it alright: Parkmobile, Healthbarn, Schedler, study after study after study but I think we’ve seen it’s never accounted for. Accountability isn’t this crew’s strong suit. Spending they have down just fine. #CleanHouse #AccountabilityNotSpending
Oh it’s definitely time to clean house right from the top.
if we don’t get some news about the Health Barn and the real costs of Schedler, which the present council absolutely refuses to comment on, I’d say go ahead and vote for other candidates. This council claimed it would be “transparent” but they have absolutely no idea what that means and are about as transparent as a concrete wall. I’m not sure we could do much worse.
