Looking out for the interests of developers instead of residents is NOT going to get you re-elected.

A Comprehensive Plan should honor the wishes of ALL the people, not just one particular group. Over development is not what we signed up for when we chose to live in this section of the county. We want to keep its rural "flavor". We support ROSA all the way.

For every dollar collected in taxes, open space costs a town only $.50 cents. For the fiscal health and beauty of Ramapo, preservation just makes sense!

Essential to preserve wetlands and open space. Overcrowding and overdevelopment endangers the entire community, Given the history of corruption in the Town of Ramapo , there needs to be NYS oversight into continuing mismanagement.

It is time to improve the living conditions in Ramapo. Plan for future zoning by following the wishes of the residents, not the developers. Do a comprehensive traffic study. Fix the many areas of congestion. Enforce zoning & traffic laws. Sell that financial black hole - the stadium. The town will no longer bleed money in maintenence & upkeep & will get much needed tax dollars.

I stand with ROSA! The destruction of Ramapo has got to stop.! Corrupt politicians must be voted out of office. We had the opportunity to do that but too many residents didn’t bother to vote! This overdevelopment affects all of us, starting with the destruction of the school system, our natural resources, infrastructure, health and safety, taxes. Corrupt builders come in and after they make their money, they’re out, leaving taxpayers to pick up the pieces of what’s left. How much longer are we taxpayers going to put up with this? We need honest politicians (if there still is such a thing) to run this town, NOW!!

I move here 52 years ago for single family homes, country living plus lots of open space with low noise, congestion and pollution. Lets not destroy that.

Now that the serenity of Rockland County has been completely destroyed,the town of Ramapo Board really needs to revamp the way that they allow the building that's going on to be stopped!!!It,s like living in the City,instead of the rural way it used to be,traffic is at its worse,water pressure has changed and there are too many properties being built in our neighborhoods that are tax exzempt.The population growth is way out of line for our small neighborhoods!!!!

We don't have the proper infrastructure to sustain this population growth in Ramapo, The traffic is horrendous already and adding thousands of more vehicles to the area roads is going to be dangerous because emergency vehicles will not be able to get to emergencies in a timely manner. Also water issues or a problem too.

Would also want property tax explanation, want to see a decrease in property taxes due to extensive new developments

Our current infrastructure, or the environment, can not support mass developments, or reckless development.

I support ROSA! Stop the overdevelopment. Preserve our towns so our children can raise their children in a community that has open spaces and a country feeling like when they grew up. And everyone should pay taxes! I am a senior living on Social Security! If I stopped paying my taxes I don't think I would be living in my house very long.

Comprehensive should mean “comprehensive” with public input and review.
