04/14/08 - Greenwich Needs To Solve The Byram Goose Poop Problem So That We Can Go After The Drug And Gang Grafitti Problems

District 4 (Byram) RTM Is Facinated With Goose Poop As Gang Activity Increases

At the February, March And April Byram RTM Meetings Goose Poop Is Extensively Discussed. Often The Subject Comes Up Two Or More Times At The Public Meeting.

Apparently, there is a Byram RTM member who used to be reponsible for the goose poop at Byram Park and the beach. For a while the Greenwich Health Department paid for the Goose Poop removal. Then the Greenwich Parks Department was paying for the Goose Poop Removal.

But for some reason the Park's Department wanted to put the Goose Poop removal services out to bid, and someone else ecame responsible for goose poop removal.

The Former RTM member often complains that the New Goose Poop Guy dosen't even do the job, because he hires someone else to handle the Goose poop. Plus the RTM member is upset that the new Goose poop guy has a dog that's somehow not properly registered or licensed.

RTM Chairman Robert McKnight says he won't even go to Byram Beach, because residents are always bothering him about Goose poop. So McKnight goes to Old Greenwich to go to the beach.

Someone, should put the tapes of these silly public meetings up on the internet for everyone to hear. Maybe Comedy Central can send The Colbert Report up to Greenwich to discover the intense Byram Goose Poop discussions.

This same Goose Poop conversation goes on and on at every single Byram RTM meeting and the worse part is the Goose poop subject is always brought up by RTM chairman McKnight.

At the last meeting there was, of coarce Mr McKnight's same old Goose Poop conversation followed by a suggestion that the former Goose Poop RTM be appointed to a committee that over sees the Town Department that overseas the Goose Poop contract.

This is followed by the Great Byram RTM Goose Poop Conflict of Interest Debate Of April 2008.

Some members complained it would be wrong to put the former Goose poop RTM member on the committee that would oversee the Goose Poop contract, because this RTM member wants to get the Goose Poop contract back.

If the Byram RTM could solve the Goose Poop problem, they could start working on the real problems that affect the remaining single family home owners Of Byram.

When On Sits In The Byram RTM One Is Often Reminded Of Nero Playing The Violin As Everything Burned to the ground.

Chris vonKeyserling Is Just Like Goose Poop.

The other subject that Byram RTM Chairman McKnight brings up at every meeting is Chris vonKeyserling. McKnight and a few make fun of a belittle Chris at every single meeting.

This unwarranted criticism of Mr. vonKeyserling is totally uncalled for. There are many Byram residents that wish that their RTM would fight for their interests like vonKeyserling fights for his district.

Mr. vonKeyserling would not tolerate Gang Grafitti to cover the business district of Cos Cob. When vonKeyserling sees a problem he attacks it head on.

You never really hear persons say that Chris "The Old Connecticut Yankee" vonKeyserling is wrong, no you just hear The RTM corporate suits saying that they don't like the way he presents his innovative solutions to the RTM.

If RTM Chairman Robert McKnight just had one of vonKeyserling's balls, then we could put an end to the gang graffiti in Byram.

Chris vonKeyserling would not waste meeting talking about goose poop.

But not all Byram RTM members are keeping themselves busy rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Other members try to talk about the Gang Grafitti, Drug Houses and Crime in Byram, but RTM Chairman McKnight says that three different police officials have told him there are no gangs in Byram.

One Byram RTM Board member thanks that the Byram Gang Graffitti is directing addicts to the section 8 drug houses on Pine and Spruce Streets.

Another, Byram RTM member says that all the Greenwich Police officer's that lived on High Street have moved away, because they did not want their children growing up in a drug and gang area.

Yet another, Byram RTM member theorized that Byram Gangs were using graffiti to mark there territory in an effort to keep rival Port Chester Gangs away from there lucrative drug sales.

There were even discussions that the it is very hard for the Greenwich Police Department to shut down the drug houses on Pine and Spruce, because the police officer's stick out like a sore thumb. The Greenwich Police Department must develop informants and it can takes months of informant drug buys to shut down just one house.

One RTM member said that something has to be done about "attorney groups that own 50 houses and let tenants sublet the houses one room at a time" Almost all members of the Byram RTM agreed that the building department needs to crack down on the illegal apartments that become drug distribution centers.

Port Chester has had several gang shootings and its just a matter of time before there is a shooting in greenwich unless something is done.

The Byram gang and Drug problem is already spreading to other areas of Greenwich, Just look at the drug houses that have appeared on Pemberwick.

If the gang and drug problem is not stopped in Byram then the Gangs will continue to move in to Greenwich High School.
