12/27/07 - Please Help Me Get Up To Spead On The Issues Affecting Byram

As many of you know I am the newest member to the Greenwich RTM for district 4 (Byram).

Also many of you know that I feel that Byram is undeserved by the building department, parking enforcement, public works, and the police department.

What I would really like is to get comments from the residents of Byram about these and other departments so that I can bring them to the first RTM meeting of 2008.

I intend to be an outspoken and strong advocate for Byram, which has been neglected far too long.

Tonight, I am going to speak on the Sam Romeo show about the poor job that the police department does of patrolling and protecting Byram.

Mr. Romeo rightly demands accountability of all departments of Greenwich Government. Yet he refuses to use his WGCH microphone to demand the same accountability of the Greenwich Police Department.

Please understand that I do not think at this time that the individual officers are the problem.

I support the police officers, my car is loaded with Greenwich police union stickers going back for years.

I really think the problem is with how the police brass manage the Greenwich Police Department. The Republican administration should have gotten an outside professional to replace Chief Walters.

If you are a Byram Resident and have had a poor experience with any Greenwich Governmental Department or the Greenwich Police Department. I would like to hear from you.

sincerely,

12/27/07 - Greenwich Matters Is On Tonight On WGCH

Tonight it will be time again for Greenwich Matter's to air on WGCH from 6 pm to 7 pm.

The Show Features Sam Romeo has been strong critic of Greenwich Governmental Departments.

He demands accountability and sound management practices of the Greenwich Governmental Departments That He Goes After.

However, Sam Romeo Turns A Blind Eye To The Greenwich Police Department.

Mr. Romeo will make excuses for the Police Department Leadership, but he refuses to demand accountability.

Mr. Romeo strongly supports the Greenwich Police Department, as everyone in Greenwich does.

I personally believe that there are many outstanding officers in the Greenwich Police Department, but the management of those officers is a joke.

I live in Byram and the officers are poorly managed.

But Byram is always ignored, by the Police Brass.

Windows get smashed, tires get slashed, mirrors get knocked off cars, while the Byram police officer just sits on US1 looking for broken taillights on cars.

Vandals do not run rampant in Mr. Romeo's neck of the woods, so he is satisfied with the Greenwich Police officers.

Tonight, I am going to call Sam Romeo again and complain about the poorly managed police officers who are responsible for patrolling Byram,

I am especially going to complain about the 4 to Midnight shift when most of the vandalism occurs.

The Police Chief should start having that officer patrol the streets of Byram instead of just sitting on the Post Road while Vandals destroy the character of Byram.

12/26/07 - Western Greenwich Came out And Supportted Peter Tessi Bigtime, But He Ignores Byram Just Like Jim Lash

You can call the First Selectman's office.

You can call the Police Department.

You can call Greenwich Social Services.

But Nothing Is Ever Done
.

Everyday there is a poor man from Port Chester, who is drinking himself to death everyday single day under the Welcome to Greenwich sign.

The poor old drunken man rides his bike from Port Chester and opens open container after open container and the police do nothing.

School children get on and of buses near him and the police officers responsible for Byram do absolutely nothing.

The poor old drunken man rides his bike over from Port Chester, because the Port Chester police will arrest him for drinking from an open container in public.

But the Greenwich police officer assigned to Byram is too busy sitting on Putnam Avenue looking for burned out car taillights.

The quality of life in Western Greenwich suffers, because the police are not properly deployed, supervised and managed.

The is not a poor old drunk man from Port Chester marking the boundary to Rye Brook or Rye, because like Port Chester they enforce open container laws.

12/26/07 - Why Wont The First Selectman Get The Gang Graffiti Removed From The Welcome To Greenwich Sign On US1?

Dear First Selectman,

I have repeatedly written about this.

I have called Town Hall About This.

I have called a local call in radio show about this.

But no one will provide Byram with the Public Works service it deserves.

If this Gang Graffiti was on a sign in front of Town Hall it would be gone in less than a day.

Yet the signs in Byram are ignored.

Date: November 26, 2007: Employees eye Benoit hearing for clues to evaluation process - Greenwich Time

On the first day of termination hearings for Fire Marshal Joseph Benoit, John Margenot Jr. took a seat next to his fellow former first selectman Tom Ragland, and chatted between bursts of testimony. The two former first selectmen were joined by dozens of other town employees, former elected officials, firefighters, and residents who attended the first two days of the quasi-judicial proceedings about Benoit, who faces termination after First Selectman Jim Lash suspended him in September.

12/26/07 - Unpaid Property Taxes - Cars Registered Out Of State

When is Greenwich going to start doing something about all the unpaid car taxes in Greenwich.

About 20 to 30% of the cars in Greenwich are registered out of state.

This is a huge loss of revenue that hurts everything especially the kids in underfunded and poorly maintained schools.

12/24/07 - A Christmas Wish For Justice - How To Slove The Unsolved Murders Of Greenwich

Maybe Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg should hire disgraced Los Angeles Detective Mark Furman to come solve this 18 month old Kissel murder and then write a second book about it.

Then maybe Police Chief
David Ridberg can let disgraced Los Angeles detective go solve the murder of that poor little boy in the Pemberwick section of Greenwich.

The Port Chester Police Department, The Rye Brook Police Department, The Rye City Police Department doesn't have all of these unsolved murders laying around.

Why does the Greenwich Police Department have all of these unsolved murders?
