The BOE Written Response Is Posted At Greenwich Roundup And Shows That Greenwich Public Schools Superintendent Freund Lied When He Said That Greenwich Board Of Education Facilities Director Anthony Byrne Voluntarily Went On Three Months Of Administrative Leave.
Anthony Byrne Never Resigned Or Requested To Be Placed On Administrative Leave Before He Was Escorted Out Of The Board Of Education Headquarters.
Byrne Was PLACED On Administrative Leave For Misconduct.
The Rumor Around Town Is That Superintendent Freund Covered This Up And Gave Byrne A $30,000 Administrative Leave Package, In Order To By His Silence
There Are Many Unconfirmed Reports That Byrne Threatened To Rat Out Persons Associated With Frank Mazza's 30 Million Dollar Hamilton Avenue Building Committee.
All T0o Often Greenwich Residents Have To Suffer From The All Too Compliant Corporate Media Outlets, Like The Greenwich Time, That Are Too Afraid To Protect The Interests Of Taxpayers, Parents And Children.

Breaking News Greenwich Post Ace Reporter Ken Borsuk Keeps Hammering Away At The GEMA Union Scandal Union members call for criminal probe of GEMA .....Additionally, Ms. Evans said there was a total of $2,250 in American Express Gift Checks purchased with union dues and that she couldn't find any indication of what they were used for except that they were given to "members going through a hardship." "The board apparently took it upon itself to give gift cards to those people," Ms. Evans said. "It was a completely arbitrary decision made in a vacuum with just the [union's executive board]. This is a violation of our bylaws. They never came to the membership with this. My personal feeling is that this is something the majority of the entire membership would have to be comfortable with and if they were going to do this, they should have sent a letter out to everyone and gotten feedback on it. Now that this has come out, people are coming up to me and asking, 'What about when I went through a hard time? The union didn't help me.'" Ms. Evans also said there is a lack of transparency around distribution of money from the union's "sunshine fund," which was created by the executive board out of union dues to provide gifts, flowers and other morale boosters for union members sick, injured or in the hospital for surgery. Ms. Evans said some union members have gotten lavish gift baskets and others haven't even gotten cards, leading her and others to wonder why it's so arbitrary. More At Greenwich Roundup Comment

CT High School Student Wants To Get Involved In Greenwich Resident Linda McMahon's Election Battle
Hello, my name is Brian Fritz I am a student at Simsbury High School.
I was reading the letter sent out by Linda McMahon's Field Director Matt Laconte asking for supporters to show up at next tuesday's senate debate. I have tried calling the University of Hartford Box Office and found that all tickets were gone.
Is there still need for support and are there any seats left?
I have spoken with people such as Sean McCoy and Keven Kulunain (spelling is most likely wrong) to try to find out ways that I can help out McMahon's campaign.
Please let me know if there's anything I can do and if there are any tickets left to come support her.
Thank you very much,
Brian Fritz

Greenwich schools facilities director to step down
By Colin Gustafson, STAFF WRITER
Director of Facilities Anthony Byrne has tendered his resignation, effective sometime in March, according to Board of Education Chairman Steve Anderson.
School officials declined to discuss the reasons for Byrne's departure, saying it was a confidential matter.
"I'm not going to discuss personnel, one way or the other," Superintendent of Schools Sidney Freund said.
Efforts to reach Byrne, whose absence began Jan. 4, on Thursday were unsuccessful.
"I was told (Byrne) was going to be retiring," First Selectman Peter Tesei said. He declined to discuss the matter further, saying it does not fall within his authority as first selectman.
District employees were notified of Byrne's absence in an internal memo on Jan. 4, a school official said.
Byrne earned $138,758.27 in the 2009 calendar year.....
.......As facilities director, Byrne was responsible for helping select contractors for school-related construction projects and maintenance work. He also supervised the work of these contractors, oversaw the district's capital projects, and managed the budget and operations of the custodial staff, a school official said.
His job has been filled on a temporary basis by Susan Chipouras, an independent contractor who worked with Milford-based Turner Construction during its management of Glenville School's reconstruction.........
....Town Attorney John Wayne Fox also declined to comment on Byrne's decision to take leave.
unbelievably byram says....
What goes around, comes around. Eventually. Sorry that it hasn't happened sooner, may have put dollars where they REALLY needed to go...into the schools and not someones' pocket.
townie says ....
Finally! He finally got what he deserved! I
am sure he had a partner involved in all of his kick backs!
Why doesnt the town also look into how Charles Swartz is ripping the town off?
NORTHIDAHO says ....
townie says ....
Charles Swartz is the man who tests air quality formold. No one from the town questions anything hedoes. It has been proven he is not licensed. Whenhe found out about tony byrne i bet he was scaredhe would be involved
NORTHIDAHO says ....
Thanks for the info. If I were looking for a job in Greenwich salary wise the Police Dept. would have to be my first choice no one seems to be watching the store there!$207,000.00 for one cop is unbelievable, it would be interesting to know how much it was with the benefits or maybe we'd be better off not knowing. Chief's salary in the small town where I live is about $50,000.00 and I don't think anyone gets much overtime. Now-a-days many small town don't have the money to have a police Dept and depend on the County Sheriff's Dept to provide that service. Others keep one cop on the payroll to run the speed trap which can be run such that it is self supporting and doesn't irritate local folks much. I guess that's what selective enforcement means, only write tickets to out of town folks!! Country life is great.
Thanks to Greenwich Proud for posting comment worthy items on TOPIX where the public can comment without signing their life away. Free speech does live but it's getting harder to find all the time.
unbelievably byram says ....
Unfortunately, the efforts of Mr.Charles Schwartz were for future possible claims. One of the technicians(?) handling the air sampler filters had said that the testing of these filter cartridges requires extensive lab work to obtain the results. What I haven't figured out is who exactly were those poor devils that did the actual asbestos abatement and if they were licensed and legally able to work.

We feel that the Greenwich Time has sensationalist headlines for the purpose of selling newspapers, not reporting the truth. We cancelled our subscription.
