SHAY'S IS SHOCKED BY NEIL VIGDOR AND THE GREENWICH TIME'S FAKE, FRAUDULENT AND PHONY "EXCLUSIVE" (greenwichroundup.blogspot)
Former Rep. Christopher Shays (R-CT), who was defeated for re-election in the 2008 Democratic wave after 21 years in office, has announced that he will run for Senate in 2012, to succeed retiring Democratic-aligned independent Sen. Joe Lieberman.

As the Greenwich Time "Exclusively" reports, Shays moved to Maryland soon after his 2008 defeat. A check of the voter rolls show that he was re-registered as a Connecticut voter just this past Friday in Bridgeport, where he and wife bought a condominium last year when he was considering a run for governor.

Greenwich Time called the story a Hearst Newspaper "Exclusive", but ......

Roll Call reported earlier this month that Shays was preparing to run and already was interviewing staff and consultants for his campaign.

Greenwich Roundup first read the Greenwich Time reporter Niel Vidgor's big so-called "EXCLUSIVE" weeks ago on a Wilton newspaper's website.

Maybe, Greenwich Time reporter Neil Vigdor moonlights as a cross dressing reporter who goes by the name of May O'Leary .....

McMahon, Shays among Republicans interested in Lieberman's Senate seat
Published: Friday, August 12, 2011
By Mary O'Leary

Former U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays, R-4th, will seek the Republican nomination for the 2012 U.S. Senate election, sources close to the former Fairfield County lawmaker confirmed Friday.

He is likely to be in a primary fight with Linda McMahon, who was the GOP candidate for U.S. Senate in 2010 when she lost to Democrat Richard Blumenthal despite spending $50 million of her own funds for a primary and the general election.

Sources close to McMahon, the former World Wrestling Entertainment executive, Friday said there is no doubt she will give it another try now that U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, I-Conn. is not seeking re-election.

McMahon also told The Associated Press she's "leaning strongly" toward getting into the race and will make a final decision within the next six weeks.

Greenwich Real Estate Big Shot Charged With A Felony Under Leandra's Law
(greenwichroundup.blogspot)
The Greenwich chairman and CEO of Robert K. Futterman and Associates was arrested and charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated under Leandra's Law after being stopped in Bridgehampton Saturday night with four children under the age of 16 in his vehicle, police said.

Leandra's Law (Child Passenger Protection Act) is a New York State law making it an automatic felony on the first offense to drive drunk with a person age 15 or younger inside the vehicle, and setting the blood alcohol content, or BAC, at 0.08.

The bill was unanimously passed by the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate and then signed into law by Gov. David Paterson on November 18, 2009.

The law is named after Leandra Rosado, an 11 year old girl, was killed on the Henry Hudson Parkway in New York City on October 11, 2009 when her friend's mother, Carmen Huertas, flipped the car they were in while allegedly under the influence of alcohol.

Six other children were also injured during the incident.

Robert Futterman, 52, who is one of the most prominent and powerful names in Manhattan Greenwich retail leasing, also was charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.

Robert K. Futterman & Associates, is the largest independent retail agency in New York.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has hired Futterman to serve as a consultant on the estimated 500,000-square-feet of retail space planned for the new World Trade Center; that he was chosen to consult on the project suggests Futterman might also get to lease the space once it's actually complete.

He's looking to expand his business overseas these days, too, particularly to construction-crazed Dubai.

Although his company started out tiny, it's grown considerably and now boasts 75 brokers in its New York office alone, with a growing presence in the Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Miami markets.

His main competitors are Jeff Winick's Winick Realty Group and Bruce Sinder's Sinvin realty, as well as the retail brokerages at conglomerates CBRE, Cushman and Wakefield, Newmark Knight Frank, and Prudential Douglas Elliman, which is run by Faith Hope Consolo.
