For Immediate Release:
Former Ridgewood Councilman Tom Riche has been certified, by the Ridgewood Village Clerk, as a candidate for the Village Council election to be held on May 11, 2010.
With a campaign slogan of “Fiscal Responsibility” Mr. Riche will be focused on bringing his historical perspective, as a former Village Councilman, to the current Council as they wrestle with the fiscal challenges ahead. During his previous term, Tom was instrumental in maintaining one of the lowest debt service ratios in the history of the Village.
“The governing body needs to be focused not only on current and future costs but also current practices,” says Riche. “ In the private sector, during the recent economic downtown, businesses have had to examine the cost of doing business and adjust as necessary. Local government should operate in the same manner. The Council has an obligation, to the taxpayer, to be fiscally responsible while maintaining critical Village services.”
