“Moving the recent vote on Ridgewood’s school budget to a day during our school’s spring break …..amounted to nothing short of voter suppression”
So I have an idea! Lets move the vote to November so we eliminate 100% of the Ridgewood resident vote on the school budget.
Hoping the LWV asks each candidate for their for a definition of voter suppression
Amazing isn’t it. They think we are stupid.
Siobhan Winograd thinks everyone is stupid. She told residents they would keep the right to vote on school budgets. Winograd omitted a key word.
She misled by not saying you would have the right to vote on only SOME budgets.
Saying it on Ridgewood Moms and Dads Facebook meant getting deleted and booted from her page.
Do not vote for Winograd.
