WE NEED FRESH IDEAS AND NEW THINKING FOR NORTHVALE
From former Councilman Roy Sokoloski

Dear Northvale Neighbors and Friends,

The last three years in Northvale government have been a financial disaster. We all know the  Democratic administration continues to blow the budget resulting in a 6.2% tax increase in 2018, another 6.5% tax increase in 2019 and now another 6.2% in 2020.  When do the increases stop? What will happen to our tax bill in 2021?

The Democratic candidates continue to tout all they have done for Northvale. They talk about a “financial disaster” from the “former administration”.  That former administration is the same Democratic council members that created the disaster, including Mr. Argiro running for re-election.   They have been sitting in positions of power for a decade, while recklessly spending our hard-earned tax dollars. They state all the budget cuts they have already made, but we still have tax increases that break the state mandated 2 percent cap. And don’t be fooled.   Young Mr. Hogan is NOT a current member of the town council, so he has NOT done any of the so-called “accomplishments” that they claim. 

It is time for a new approach from reasonable conservative minds who will ensure a steady and prosperous future for Northvale. Ann Singer and Edward Durfee are two energetic citizens who have already committed their lives and their families to improving Northvale. They have raised their children in our community and Edward’s grandchildren are attending our local schools. They care deeply about Northvale’s future, about your future. They will vote to cut spending in order to save our great community from the reckless spending and unaffordable taxation.

I strongly urge you to cast your vote for a new team on the Northvale Council. Please vote for Ann Singer and Edward Durfee for Northvale Council. We can be proud, that they are willing to sacrifice their personal time to work for all of us. Vote Column 1. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Roy Sokoloski, AIA

This year I am endorsing Ann Singer and Edward Durfee for the Northvale Council. Ann and Edward are two good family-oriented people with tremendous life experience that will benefit the Council and Borough. Edward’s history as an IT Consultant is something that is very appropriate currently as the Borough begins a technology upgrade. His expertise in that area is extremely beneficial. Ann’s experience as an Aviation Mechanic shows that she is not afraid to get on the front lines and put the work in that is necessary for success. Both Ann and Edward are committed to being active members of the Council.  They will work with us, and the Mayor, to maintain the character of Northvale, be good fiscal stewards, increase communications with residents and do what is right for Northvale. Please join me in voting for Ann and Edward.
