Village Council Elections: LIAR-LIAR- PANTS ON FIRE!!!
Well what do you know, Paul Aronsohn showed his true colors last night at the League debate and flip flopped on Valley. By his endorsement of the two pro Valley candidates he has assured the residents that there will be 10++ YEARS of construction, noise , filth and foundations cracking all around Valley.
What a joke when Al Puccarelli offered to be on a “Council committee” to negotiate with Valley if elected. HELLO!..his law firm works for Valley..do you think it’s easy to predict where those negotiations would go.
Paul Aronsohn is a despicable opportunist that will do anything to seize control of the Council and bring partisan politics to Ridgewood. He will populate every position with political hacks and Ridgewood will become his “trading card” for political paybacks. He had the nerve to sit there and throw Mayor Killion under the bus when everyone knows that Keith has worked tirelessly for the last four years as an advocate for every resident regardless of their political persuasion.
CRR MUST withdraw their endorsement of Aronsohn or you will suffer the dire consequences should he get elected with his “pro Valley” team. Keith and Jane will ensure that Aronsohn’s campaign of dirty politics will never have a place in Ridgewood. The time is NOW!!! Speak to your friends and neighbors…..Valley has cast it’s web.
Who is to say who is lying are you judge and jury?
Al was reacting to the Mayor’s suggestion that the council was too busy to deal with Valley. I think the Mayor mentioned that the Shade Tree proposal later discussed was the kind of thing that the council needed to spend time on. That and paving roads and fixing sidewalks.
Which candidate said “I think the planning board should rescind the H-Zone amendment and start from a clean sheet of paper.” The Mayor? No. Jane? No. It was Paul.
Planning Board members are not allowed to discuss the H-Zone amendment due to litigation.
The candidates didn’t try to hide behind that. They were very open. The Mayor said that it wasn’t as simple as rescinding the H-zone ordinance because that could invite legal trouble. Good answer but not “Start with a clean sheet of paper.” I couldn’t hear Jane’s response as I was watching on TV.
Hey number one, and executioner!
Liar, Liar is so TRUE! Just vote for Jane and Keith. Shame on Paul… but then again, thank you, for finally not misleading us into voting for you! I believe you will stil get in but you’ll hopefully be the only vote for Valley on the council. We hope sense wins again!
What should his name be now:
Benedict Paul?
Lying King?
AronSHUN?
or, Benedict Paul Lying King AronSHUN?
This just in, HUMC, will have free ambulances to Pascack Valley soon!
Yes, we are so against over expansion! You should all be to?
I started this process by initially wanting to support Killion, Shinozuka and Aronsohn. Like most people here, I’m busy and don’t always have the time to spend keeping up with local stuff. I’ve been making a big point to change that lately though –because I feel it’s become very necessary.
Initially , I liked that Aronsohn often seemed the only one questioning things on the VC and so thought it was good to keep him there. I actually believed some of the stuff he said..
I was wrong.
I no longer feel that way. And that’s not just from the Candidate’s Night stuff, it’s the outcome of a much longer process. I did homework, and the more I looked, frankly the less I liked.
That leaves me with a real quandary as to the 3rd seat and who to support for it.
I’m now leaning toward Pucciarelli. He has experience and skills. The Valley situation is a drawback regarding his candidacy, though on the PB he has recused himself from anything involving that issue, honorably so. If Killion and Shinozuka are on the VC with Riche and Walsh and are joined by Pucciarelli, the VC’s existing position on Valley’s current renewal plan would probably prevail. I sure hope so.
After last night, I also sure have new concerns about Aronsohn on the Valley situation too. But though it’s a big one indeed, Valley is not the only issue we face as a Village– far from it. And I have even more concerns about Aronsohn on many other issues too.
So I think all things considered I’ll probably support Pucciarelli for that 3rd seat.
Don’t waste your vote by NOT voting for someone for each seat– that could actually get Aronsohn re-elected. And – at least to me– that would be bad for Ridgewood.
Remember, I started this process by being in FAVOR of Paul.
From my reviewing and studying, he showed me that his way is NOT the right way for me, nor in my view for the Village. .
I actually THANK him for having shown his true colors so clearly and hope others see them as clearly as I do now and vote accordingly. If enough people do, he will no longer be representing us.
What language does Ridgewood speak? We received a sample ballot in English, Spanish and now Chinese, or something. Very confusing!
We need to put to a vote that English be the official language of Ridgewood!
