Hugo’s ambition to run for Council is to align with the current Democratic Council members and to make significant changes which will enhance the quality of life in Ridgefield. He feels that during the two and a half years the Republicans have lead the majority they have failed to advance the Overpeck Creek Redevelopment Area; control taxes and spending; and have failed to come up with a viable solution for the Borough Hall building. Hugo wants to make a difference.
