Ridgewood NJ, The Mayor Paul Aronsohn and the Village Council has given in to the public outcry for a Second Meeting to hear public comments on the multi-family housing . On June 24 at a public meeting the Mayor basically told resident Boyd Loving to sit down and shut up when he suggested that more than one public hearing was in order.
Perhaps recent events such as the lawsuit brought by the CBR, as well as intense public outcry about the single meeting, and even the Ridgewood News editorial, have caused a change of heart. Boyd it seems, was dare we say it, RIGHT.
Now perhaps you will listen to Boyd’s other suggestion to secure a larger venue for the hearings, so that overflow citizens are not sequestered in the basement of Village Hall and are somehow shuttled up and down stairs to the microphone.
The mayor does not listen to Boyd because Boyd makes sense. He hates it when someone has an idea that is not his own. Aronsohns obvious contempt for some speakers is appalling.,,did you see him attack Lorraine Reynolds? Marcia Ringel? Tom Landers? My oh my, if Rurik Halaby gets up,the mayor bobs his head up and down like a battery operated yes-man.
The venue must be larger. Come one Paulie boy, where is everyone going to sit? Oh, I get it, you don’t want everyone to come. I get it. We all get it.
Hopefully these three fools will leave town after they loose the next election.
