First Selectman Peter Tesei said the alleged forgery of town documents should not be taken lightly.
"That's why I felt from the very beginning it should be handled by police," Tesei said. "Obviously, the objective is to present as strong a case as possible that will result in a conviction. There are some nuances about it that certainly make it more complex than it should be."....
...Greenwich Time received a binder with materials similar to those described by town officials. It contained photocopies of beach cards from the 2005 and 2006 seasons with the names of several individuals and their supposed addresses, which were all in Old Greenwich.
None of the individuals named were listed in telephone directories at the addresses printed on the cards, however. One of the individuals was listed as a Stamford resident.
Photocopies of beach parking stickers from the 2006 and 2004 seasons also were included, as well as several marina permits from 2006.
I mean,
Why is what we have never enough?
Why do we get so weighed down with the burden of feeling like we have to have bigger, better, faster?
I love the quote by Immanuel Kant
“Give a man everything he wants and at that moment everything is not everything”
ALSO THE BIBLE SAYS:
These pasages talk about “Godliness with contentment is great gain”
Maybe the great gain is that we get our life back.
We no longer are owned by the things that we have striven for for so long.
This lady wants to build this temple to materialism in a town where school children do not have their own school building. The Town should require Olga to build a school, before granting approval for this monument of Extreme Spending and Gross Materialism.

Opposition to a big, big mansion in Greenwich
GREENWICH, Conn. - A new home proposed for Greenwich, which could be among the biggest homes in a town of mansions, is drawing opposition."We were happy to let the commission digest all of the information," Tesei said, adding that the plans call for landscaping and drainage improvements that would limit impact to neighbors. "Once the commission digests all of the information, they will see that we've struck a balance."
But neighbors said the mansion is too large for the 7-acre property and neighborhood.
"It is three times the size of the house they are replacing, which is the largest house on the road," said Charles Lee, a Simmons Lane resident opposed to the project. "This thing is far bigger than anything around."....

Future Senior Center to be Far Cry from Old Town Hall
Two steps fore; two steps aft; two steps to the right, two steps to the left - the instructor directed as a recorded waltz filled the lunch, activity, lecture, exercise all-purpose dog-eared room on the first floor.
Across the hall, in upholstered chairs of a certain age, a few seniors lounged in the books on their laps. A TV was on and others gazed at the program on the screen.
The library and TV room opened on another room with card tables, and stacks of boxed board games nearby. A foursome was playing bridge.
Downstairs, a pool table was not in use. Access to the lower level was via steep stairs of a rickety elevator that could win a prize for being the slowest on planet earth.
The short tour of the current Senior Center put into focus the subject of a recent survey conducted by Gerontological Services Inc. of Santa Monica, Calif. Its subject: Greenwich's Future Senior Center.
The survey was done for the Town of Greenwich Commission on Aging led by Executive Director Sam Deibler. The Senior Center, now a Town Department, is under his baton.
Conducted last January among 4,000 men and women 60-to-80 years of age, the survey was triggered by the fact that the Greenwich Senior Center is at a pivotal moment in its history, according to Deibler.
For these reasons:
1. The older adult population is growing and will continue to do so over at least the next 25 years. By 2030, some 23,573 in Greenwich will be over 60. Projections are 9,676 will be between 60 and 69; 8,793 between 70 to 74; 5,103 ages 75 and over.
2. At the same time....

Brian R. Perusse, 21, became a police officer at a swearing-in ceremony this morning at Town Hall.
With his parents and sister looking on, Perusse took an oath to uphold state and local laws and the U.S. Constitution, administered by First Selectman Jim Lash.
Perusse's hiring brings the department to its maximum force of 157 sworn officers, said Sgt. Jeffrey Moran of the Greenwich Police Training Division. The starting salary is $45,723.
Flanked by James Walters and Selectman Penny Monahan yesterday, Jim Lash said town payroll accountants' recent conclusion that the town had overpaid Gray and other activated reservists was wrong. Lash said Gray would be reimbursed the $500 and future paychecks would be issued for the regular amount.
#######
About 75 people attended the open house, including First Selectman Jim Lash, Selectmen Peter Crumbine and Penny Monahan, state Reps. Claudia "Dolly" Powers, Livvy Floren and Lile Gibbons, and dozens of town employees.
Floren, a Republican, is seeking a third term representing the 149th District in the state House of Representatives, which includes eastern Greenwich and parts of Stamford. She is being challenged by Kim Hynes, a Stamford Democrat.
