Union members call for criminal probe of GMEA finances
Members of the Greenwich Municipal Employees Association (GMEA) are looking to open a criminal probe, claiming that their president might have been misusing funds.
A member of the GMEA has been in contact with the State’s Attorney’s Office and with the Greenwich Police Department. Det. Mark Marino of the Greenwich police is expected to make contact with the union members within the next few days to investigate their claims. Should they be warranted, the investigation could then be turned over to the State’s Attorney’s Office.
.....union members who completed their examination of the union’s books this month and claim that GMEA President Rosalie Mastropaolo has misused union funds.
GMEA member Melissa Evans, who is among those who examined the GMEA’s financial records after the Connecticut Board of Labor Relations mandated they be released, met with the Post on Tuesday. She said the financial mismanagement goes beyond initial allegations of union funds being used for concert tickets and meals......
.....GMEA held its regular monthly meeting Tuesday afternoon. The Post attempted to attend to hear the board’s side of the accusations, but was ejected from the meeting at Ms. Mastropaolo’s request. Ms. Mastropaolo refused comment for the story.
For the full story, see this week's issue of the Greenwich Post.

Why no comment from Mastropaolo? One would think that if she were truly ionnocent of any wrong-doing she would have something to say.
Candy79 says .....
Combative, Unrependent, full of a sense of their own power. That is the impression that comes across from the majority of the GMEA Executive Board. "Mistakes Were Made" that is the talking point used most by GMEA Board members. Let's just put this behind us and move on. That's what every thief saids once they have been caught. I didn't know I was doing something wrong. They have hundreds of people incarerated right now that are saying that as they wait for an appeal. They could at least fake being sorry about spending the Union's money on frivolous items. It leaves a nasty taste in my mouth, because GMEA's Executive Board sound just like lying politicians when they are caught out..so sad.
Greenwich Girl says .....
This is such disgusting. The Board of GMEA has such a sense of entitlement and they are living in a fantasy world. "Mistakes were made, Lets move on?" I am no lawyer, but if these accusations are true, they have committed Grand Larceny. They have stolen dues from hard working individuals that they are supposed to represent, who have not had a raise in over a year. The Board has committed the sin of gluttony by going to fancy dinners, concerts, trips to Vegas, etc. Did they not think that they would have to pay for their actions? The GMEA board disgusts me, and so do the people that continue to believe the lies that they spew, because they allow this behavior to continue.
