Let’s hope Jeff behaves….
$26k for a lawn mower? Jesus. Give us a break Ramon.
Jeff misbehaving may be the least serious catastrophe awaiting Ridgewood after this meeting. This council must be already on record for the council with the loosest purse strings ever! They actually seem to be actively seeking ways to spend money. They have obviously never heard of fiscal responsibility. They just WANT, WANT, WANT without any rich uncle taking care of their wants–definitely NOT NEEDS. (library, water company, garage, etc.).
$250K for HVAC upgrades at Village Hall. How old is that building? Does anyone do regular maintenance?
Jeff is only one vote. Lets see how Mayor Zucchini and the other four vote on spending money. Its seems that they don’t need Jeff’s vote to spend,spend,spend
Sigh . . .
330k to destroy the train parking Lot when 12 m plus overruns being built on other side of train tracks
For compact cars no less at Vip thousand plus rates
Investgations please town a complete disaster THIS IS OUR MONEY VC no way
Thats it folks, Mayor Zucchini is setting up his re election campaign or better yet showing off his accomplishment when he seeks high office.
The 3 Amigos reincarnated.
They’re talking about reconstructing the train station parking lot, my God has anyone looked at the windows and doors of the train station it’s in Terrible shape. And what about the old taxi stand building second-floor the first floor what’s going on at that site. It looks like a ghost town.
How about hiring a painter to paint the outside of Village jewelers the front of it looks terrible I need to be stripped and primed and painted looks beat up.
The update to the ‘historic’ buildings at the train station was a complete joke. It was like putting lipstick on a pig.
for $40 million what do you want ?
How about use some money and get out of the ridiculous lease at habernickel with healthbarn
