I’ve been on the list for a tree for about 23 years now. This seems like a less than worthwhile programs.

So I can pay for village services, in addition to my taxes?

If you have discretionary money please give it to a real charity. Help people in need.
Ridgewood has plenty of money. It is shameful for them to ask.
