The election is over and the abyssmal turnout and results has ensured that 4 more years of questionable decisions and seat of the pants governing will continue. Such a shame residents couldn’t distinguish the difference between being a really nice person ( is the town a sorority?) and an effective elected leader. Or putting the needs of Upper Saddle River before party. Or cared enough to actually vote.
No hope now for any accountability over Toll Brothers.
Or live streaming meetings.
If you are one of the 10 or so people who actually attends the mayor and council meeting you no doubt will be interested in the agenda which was a few interesting points. Not least of which is the appointment of a new team of financial people and other interesting things.
I also would love to know how you will not raise municipal taxes with the hire of a full time CFO AND tax collector. The cost of those 2 positions full time with benefits will be well over $220,000 per year plus all the televised costs. I do not see any cost cutting here.

Let’s see if taxes stay 7th lowest. Or not.
