ReplyI live in Cragmere and O&R's site says that my power will be restored by 11:30 PM on 11/11. We've seen O&R supervisor vehicles in our area but that's it. When my husband asked the man about the status of the restoration he told him he wasn't allowed to give us any information. Great way to run a business O&R!

ReplyIts a non-binding referendum that likely means little to nothing but I don't see a 52/48 vote split as a victory for "Stop the Mall" indeed the fact that the voter turnout was low tells me that the majority of voters in Mahwah don't care which I would interpret as more in favor of the development than against.

I think the town did a great job and the new text message system from the MPD and our Mayor were very valuable during this storm and the aftermath. I am impressed by our town's response across the board and everyone should be commended. I have friends in surrounding towns who did not have access to such good information. Also I've yet to hear of another police department which allowed residents to come and recharge cell phones and computers. I also appreciate the Mayor's constant communication regarding the power outages and his efforts to push O&R to get here and get the power on. I think O&R should have provided better communication from the start. I understand that the size of the outage may have been unprecedented from their standpoint but they should have had as many emergency plans and programs in place as our town.
Again thank you to our Mayor, the MPD and emergency responders for making a difficult situation easier to handle.
