When Emily Gil learned of the lack of affordable housing in Englewood Cliffs — and the fact she believes Black residents are priced out of her Bergen County hometown — she felt an urgent need to enact change.

The 18-year-old, who graduated from Bergen County Technical School in June, organized a small, peaceful Black Lives Matter protest last month, she says. “Englewood Cliffs has dodged affordable housing requirements for 40-plus years,” Gil told NJ Advance Media. “I find that unacceptable.”

Four days after the July 25 rally, Gil received a hefty bill for police overtime. “Please promptly forward your payment to the borough in the amount of $2,499.26 for the police overtime caused by your protest,” Englewood Cliffs Mayor Mario M. Kranjac wrote in a letter.

The letter provided to NJ Advance Media states that since Gil had refused to meet with officials ahead of the protest, the borough was left scrambling to provide security. “Your lack of notification left the borough with little time to prepare for your protest so that the police department and department of public works could ensure that everyone would be safe,” the letter states.

Gil explained that borough officials had requested she meet with them in person but she declined due to concerns over the coronavirus. She offered to meet with them on Zoom instead but they didn’t accept, she said. “They kept pushing (an in-person meeting) and then they stopped responding to me,” she said.

Gil said only 30 to 40 people attended the rally, caused no disturbances and picked up their own trash. In an email, Gil complained about the overtime bill to Englewood Cliffs Police Chief William Henkelman. Henkelman wrote back that he had notified the borough of the “extensive preparation required and the additional staffing that was needed, including overtime.

  • I don't think this paltry sum even deserves a response; shoot her!

  • Don't worry, soros, obama and hillary will pay it.

  • AWWW, poor baby. (Tee Hee)

  • I love this. It's exactly how we SHOULD be responding to nonsenical Liberals and their infantile demands. In 2013, my son and I organized the first Anti-Safe Act protest in Albany, NY, on Capital grounds. We prepared for weeks, met in-person with all police agencies to discuss security, and spent a ton of money on everything from flags to porta-potties.  All of that money was donated by fellow Patriots. We got our permits, made some new friends in Law Enforcement, and held a protest that broke the record as the largest in the history of Albany!  We even made Reuters! There were no problems, no damages, and no hard feelings. Yet the Left doesn't believe that THEY are subject to any rules unless they are ridiculous "requirements" that they made up themselves and demand EVERYONE comply with. We MUST push back NOW, before it's too late. Lessons like this young woman is learning, are vital.

  • Welcome to the real world princess. Now get a job, get up every morning and get your butt to work. I hope her parents made her responsible for her tuition.

  • I cannot stop laughing. If she does not pay it will affect her credit. They should sue if she does not pay for even more.

  • Affordable housing is exactly the kind of thing Trump is warning us about. If the commie Biden gets in, all of suburbia will be blanketed with "affordable housing". That will destroy the suburbs just as Trump is telling us. Our president has tremendous foresight and we should always listen to him.

    I'm glad that this town in New Jersey is charging this commie teen for the extra expense incurred. Commies like to think everything is free but it isn't. 

    • The poorest people should be seeking as much education and job training as they can possibly get. And work hard to earn it. And then that will increase their income and they will no longer be the poorest people in the planet! A lot of the poorest people don't even try to improve their situation in life, and they probably don't have to because the Democrats keep giving them as much free stuff is they can get. Remember the black woman that was waiting at the polls in line to vote for Barack Obama ask? Do you remember her? A reporter asked her why she wanted to vote for Barack Obama. She replied because he's going to give us lots of free stuff in cash. The reporter asked her where she Thought Obama was going to get all this free stuff in cash. She said, I don't know, from his stash I guess!  thought Obama was going to get all this free stuff in cash. She said, I don't know, from his stash I guess!   
      Of course his stash came from the taxpayers, all the people who work who hold down jobs and live responsibly. He has taken from them and giving it to others as though it were his stash, which is the typical socialist/communist model!of course his stash came from the taxpayers, all the people who work who hold down jobs and live responsibly. He has taken from them and giving it to others as though it were his stash, which is the typical socialist/communist model I remember living as a little girl in an apartment building in Connecticut. It was overrun with cockroaches for starters. I never thought I was bad off. I remember coming home from school for lunch with my younger sister and finding absolutely nothing in the house to eat. Even the peanut butter jar was completely empty and white clean. We drank a cup of water and went back to school. Did I feel sorry for myself? And did my sister? Now in our senior years we have talked about it and looked back on that. We both remembered it exactly the same. And it never entered the mind of either one of us to feel bad about it. Sure we were hungry! But when we went home, somewhere my mother has scraped up enough money to buy a loaf of bread and a can of fruit cocktail! She gave each one of us a slice of toast and fruit cocktail for our afterschool snack, and that night for dinner she broke up bread and a bowl sprinkled it with sugar poured milk over it and that was our dinner. It tasted delicious and we were satisfied. We are all seniors today and none of us 4 girls have suffered health issues because of our often meager diet. Two of the four of us got college degrees, and two took office training classes in high school and went right to work after high school working doing office work and slowly learning more skills overtime work their way up in the food chain at work till they had better positions and more pay! We all have good lives today, and nothing to complain about, and we have had a lifetime of responsibility, discipline, family life, and Hardwork. And faith! We all go to church and we have learned in our lifetime we have a very generous and loving God! If people in those poor tenement buildings would ask for the ability to take courses in job training, and for those who are able even to go on to higher learning, that it was going to enable them overtime to live better! 

  • Karma is a bitch!  She deserves everything they hit her with.  She won't follow the rules and this is what happens.  Now lets try to collect from the anarchysts in all the big Democrat run cities!
