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.

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.
