06/10/08 Did Peter Crumbine Have Another One Of His Senior Moments Or Are The Republican Powers That Be using Dirty Political Tricks At The RTM



Maybe Greenwich Selectman
Peter Crumbine Spent Too
Much Time In The Sun


Political insiders are saying that Peter Crumbine might be involved in Greenwich Republican political tricks.

Others are saying poor Peter is just suffering from sever senior moments and may soon be placed in a corner with a warm bowl of oatmeal.

It seems that Paul Marchese and Democratic Town Chairman Frank Farricker both received a letter from Republican selectman Peter Crumbine, after the received a glowing report from the RTM Appointments committee.

No one on the RTM Appointments committee voted against either Mr. Marchese and Mr. Farricker, who had been the democratic candidate opposing Peter Tesei in the last years contentious First Selectman's race.

In fact, The RTM Appointments Chairman Christopher von Keyserling gave both proposed appointees a glowing recommendation from his committee.

One of Peter Crumbine's letters congratulated Mr. Marchese on his appointment to the planning and zoning board.

Mr. Crumbine's letter other letter congratulated Mr. Farricker on his
re-appointment to the planning and zoning board.

Then once man had a known family obligation and the other a was out of the country the Republican powers that be in Greenwich had the Republican dominated Land use committee summon Paul Marchese and Democratic Town Chairman Frank Farricker before them.

When they could not show up voted to recommend delaying Mr. Farricker's re-appointment until the September Representative Town Meeting.

When RTM members, Paul Marchese and Democratic Town Chairman Frank Farricker suggested holding a land use committee meeting before last nights RTM Meeting, the land use committee chairman refused to call the meeting.

Then Appointments Chairman Christopher von Keyserling back tracked on last months glowing recommendation for Mr. Farricker saying that his committee is now a little reluctant about Mr. Farricker, because of his supposed focus on commercial instead of residential properties.

Mr. Farricker has a BA from George Washington University and a masters degree from Columbia University. And a principal at SVP Real Estate Financing Company. Mr. Farricker is a long-time community volunteer and is Board member -The Mary Fund hospice care, as well as, a long time member of the Greenwich Planning and Zoning Commission.

Are the Republican powers that be plotting to get rid of a dissenting voice on the Planning and Zoning Commission?


Now the Republican powers that be want the single family home-owners of Greenwich to believe that a confused Peter Crumbine accidentally sent out two misleading letters, but Town Hall insiders say that Mr. Crumbine did not even type the letters.

In fact, a Town Of Greenwich employee was directed to type the letters that MR. Crumbine used to deceive these two fine gentlemen who want to volunteer to serve the citizens of Greenwich.

People say, that Mr. Crumbine didn't even seal the envelope or apply postage to his confusing correspondence.

Greenwich Roundup doesn't belive all the Republican hype that Selectman Peter Crumbine is some little confused old man wandering around town hall mistakingly appointing persons to boards and commissions.

No, Greenwich Roundup thinks that the Republican powers that be in Greenwich are being devious.

Greenwich Roundup doesn't think that even a confused Peter Crumbine would make such a stupid mistake as to send out official letters appointing persons to the Planning and Zoning Commission, only to wait till they leave the country and say,"Sorry I made a mistake, you need to go to this Republican dominated Committee.

Let's face it the devious Crumbine is an oilman that worked 18 years for Mobil Oil (Now Exxon Mobile). Then the slick little Crumbine went to work for Sempra Energy Trading, which is the company that bought Enron. What a great work record for a politician!!!

Maybe Mr. Farricker should not have been as outspoken on the Planning and Zoning Commission or have ran for First Selectman.

Unfortunately, Mr. Farricker must always fight as an underdog, since 46 percent of the town's voters are registered Republicans while just 19 percent are Democrats and the rest are unaffiliated.

Let's see what the Greenwich Republican Power Structure does with Mr. Farricker's Planning and Zonning re-appointment at the September Representative Town Meeting and then we will know if Peter Crumbine is confused or just a mean and devious man.
