Greenwich Roundup Advices GCTV Channel 79 Listeners To Turn Down The Volume When RTM Moderator Byrne Tries To Defend His Sneaky And Underhanded Vote That Was Made After The Vote Was Taken.
Forget About Roberts Rukes Of Order
We Have Byrne's Rules Of Disorder
"The first rule is not to lose. The second rule is not to forget the first rule."
More Of Byrne's Rules Of Disorder
"Life's a game, all you have to do, is know how to play it."
"Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it."
"Rules are not necessarily sacred"
"Rules are mostly made to be broken and are too often for the lazy to hide behind"
"Rules are for the obedience of fools"

Greenwich resident Gail Stechel arrested for stabbing her mother Christmas Day 2009 (theoriginalgreenwichdiva)
Following a three-month investigation Greenwich police arrested a twenty-year-old woman on Monday for stabbing her mother during an altercation at their Dingletown home on Christmas Day 2009.
Police responding to a possible drug overdose call on December 26, 2009 discovered that the previous night there had been an altercation between a mother and her adult daughter that left the mother with stab wounds to the face, back, hands, arms and legs.
Both the alleged drug victim, Gail Stechel and her mother were taken to Greenwich hospital on the 26th where the mother was treated for non-life threatening wounds and the daughter was treated for drug overdose.
After months of investigations, police decided to arrest the younger Stechel and charged her with first-degree assault and interfering with an emergency 911 call.

Moderator Thomas Byrne's Anger Management Problem Is Hindering New RTM Members (greenwichroundup.blogspot)
The Representative Town Meeting's New Members First Legislative Actions Were To Vote On RTM Moderator Thomas Byrne And Moderator Pro Tempore Joan Caldwell's Incumbent Positions Of Authority.
This Was An Ugly, Confusing And Messy Process.
Then The New RTM Members Had To Witness Mr. Byrne's Repeated Harangues As Several Members Tried To Amend The Legislative Body's Minutes From The January Meeting.
All The RTM Members Wanted To Do Was To Reflect The Fact That Mr. Byrne Had Cast A Vote After The Vote Denying Paul Curtis A Second RTM Vote Against Joan Caldwell.
The Angry Moderator Did Not Want His Unorthodox Actions To Be Reflected In The Minutes.
The Fact Is, That Mr. Byrne Should Have Recused Himself As Moderator During The Debate And Discussion Of His Controversial Voting Maneuver.
Ms. Caldwell Is Now Viewed As A Paper Tiger Who Is Propped Up Only By Mr. Byrne's Underhanded And Questionable Voting Methods.
The News Around Town Is That New RTM Members Have Complained To Byrne Some In Writing, And Some In Person.
The New RTM Members Are Asking, "How Can They Serve Their Legislative Districts Properly If We Have To Be Afraid Of Speaking Our Minds."
No New RTM Member Wants To Be Publicly Dressed Down By An Out Of Control Moderator On Cable TV As He Tries To Represent His Or Her Area Of Town.
Byrne's Behaviour At The March RTM Meeting Was A Poor Civics Lesson For The Newly Elected Members.
What Did The New RTM Members Think As They Witnessed An Irate Byrne Blast Out "I Am Not Recognizing You, Mr. von Keyserling, Excuse, Mr. von Keyserling, You Do Not Have The floor."
The Town Voters Expects The RTM to Be Transparent And Open.
It Is Disgusting That Byrne Has Brought Partisan Politics Into The RTM Moderators Position.
UPDATE:
This Just In To The......
