04/22/10 Ball Busting Greenwich Real Estate Blogger Is Ordered To Take An Ethics Course And Then Told To Take Down His Blog Post About It
| First Greenwich Realtors Got Chris Fountain Fired At The Greenwich Post, Now They Are Making Him Take Down His Blog Posts This is what passes for professionalism in Greenwich « For What It's Worth By Christopher Fountain From an actual email received today from that agent I mentioned earlier, confirming all my suspicions. I have been ordered to take a 3- hour ethics course because I ... UPDATE: I don’t know what that seller’s agent is thinking, but as a homeowner in the Calhoun Association, I’d like to see those deals done. The houses are old and tired and the owners aren’t paying their Association dues–a real headache for us. The sooner they get sold and torn down the better. Sure, we’ll all take a hit on our theoretical, on-paper “property value” for a while, but the new houses that are built in their place will ultimately make up for it. We’re only delaying the inevitable, at least in these two cases that I know of–so let’s take our medicine and move forward. Just in case you’ve ever wondered at the quality of representation you are receiving from Greenwich Realtors. "My major concern is the effect you, and others like you, are having on our real estate market. Can you imagine the impact an $850K sale for a four bedroom colonial on one plus acres in Calhoun Association would have on the market? It would be one thing if that was all the property could command, and quite another to effectuate the sale using “slick”, in my opinion unethical, maneuvers. There are a lot of people in this town that don’t care what they have to do to make a buck, and you are obviously one of them, but I will not participate! I would ask now that we both just drop this whole thing." ========================================== Please send your comments, news tips and press releases to GreenwichRoundup@gmail.com |

04/22/08 Greenwich Resident Ned Lamont Criticizes Governor Rell's Early-Retirement Plan

The Greenwich cable television entrepreneur was soon joined by former Stamford Mayor and Democratic candidate for governor, Dannel Malloy, called the idea penny-wise and pound foolish — saving money in the short term and but costing even more in the long term as state employees head out the door.
The state, they argued, will lose some of its best and brightest as thousands of experienced employees leave.
Mr Lamont has been quoted in the press saying, "The worst part is that the 'savings' this short-sighted proposal offers are a drop in the bucket — savings that are overshadowed by the loss of talent and the time, energy and money it will take to train their replacements, It's time to stop kicking the can down the road."
An estimated 8,000 state employees would be eligible for the plan, and 2,000 are expected to take it.
Since about 1,000 positions would have to be refilled, the state workforce would be cut by about 1,000 positions — saving $65 million per year, the out going Republican Governor has claimed.
The amount of savings in both the short and long term depends on the speed at which jobs are refilled.
Mr. Malloy sumed up the plan this way, "The problem with this type of program is clear: They sacrifice long-term economic stability and growth for a perceived short-term benefit. When employees take advantage of the plan they eventually have to be replaced, often at higher costs than if the current workers had stayed on the job. As just one example, in last year's plan we lost approximately 500 correction officers. Obviously, they'll have to be replaced, and it costs approximately $30,000 to train each one."

04/21/10 Greenwich Resident Gregory Zach Who Was A Greenwich Police Department Reject Has Been Suspended By The Stamford Police Department
Photo: Brenda Mazariegos was punched in the forehead by an police officer Gregory ZachGreenwich resident Gregory Zach had been denied a job at the Greenwich Police Department in 2005 because of a background check.
Later Mr. Zach was hired by the Stamford Police Department and received numerous civilian complaints about his conduct.
Now that the Stamford Police Department has completed a 10-months investigation, the Stamford Police Department has suspended an officer after an internal probe substantiated claims that he used excessive force while arresting, Brenda Mazariegos, a downtown restaurant owner.
Stamford Police Officer Zack punched the woman while she was being arrested on charges of driving without a license.
Police Officer Zach will be suspended without pay until July 1, but he must work either in the jail or on the front desk during the midnight shift. When he returns to the force, he must spend 18 months on probation.
Additionally, Zach must adhere to a seven-point plan created by Nivakoff and other police department officials before he can return to active patrol duty. Nivakoff said he could not describe the nature of the seven provisions because such a disclosure would violate health insurance privacy laws.
Some have said the plan requires Officer Zach to deal with mental health and behavioral issues.
Zach's use of excessive force last summer brought the police department's civilian complaint process under scrutiny.
Stamford Police Chief Robert Nivakoff has said the department is working toward revamping both its civilian complaint processes and its interview policies for prospective police officers.
04/21/10 Greenwich, CT AA will never be the same
We are our stories, so the saying goes. And a classic at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in Greenwich, Connecticut has been the speaker tale about putting the finishing touches on a drunk in the Metro North bar car. That was usually after catching the last commuter train back post hours drinking at the Oyster Bar. The next day, they would get up at 5 A.M, take the train into Manhattan's Grand Central, then a subway to Wall Street to their wonderful jobs, and then repeat the Oyster Bar, along with the Metro North bar car.
That could all end. The bar car could be eliminated by Metro North as a measure in cost-efficiency. In NEW YORK Magazine, Josh Duboff reports the horror has already happened in commuter trains to Long Island and Westchester.
On on the Connecticut line is it still possible to audition for AA.
In my novel THE FAT GUY FROM GREENWICH, I position joining AA as a WASPY rite of passage.

04/21/10 This Greenwich Roundup Facebook Post About Former Greenwich Time Investigative Reporter Teri Buhl Needs To Be Updated
Greenwich Roundup Posted At Facebook
Greenwich Roundup Is Very Disappointed At The Fairfield County Weekly Newspaper.
Reporter Erin Holroyd wrote a print feature story on Greenwich Time Investigative Business Reporter Teri Buhl's firing but never interviewed her.
Fairfield County Weekly could have had a better story about local media if they had interviewed Ms. Buhl.
This clearly shows the sad state of local media in Connecticut ?
No wonder more and more Greenwich residents are getting their news from blogs and social networking sites like Facebook.
The incomplete story is now off of Fairfield County Weekly's homepage.
Why didn't Fairfield County weekly reporter Erin Holroyd mention that the very talented Teri Buhl was quickly hired by Fortune.com ?
Ms. Bulh is actually in a better position at a much more prestigious business news organizations.
She actually reaches more readers now.
You will note that for the record that......
Cowardly Fox Newspaper Reporter Charlie Gasparino,Trader Monthly publisher Randall Lane and Greenwich Time Editor in Chief David McCumber did not return repeated phone calls for comment about their involvement in Ms. Buhl's Firing.
Hearst Business Editor Jim Zebora, when contacted By Fairfield County Weekly, said he had no comment about Ms. Buhl's firing.
Why Are These Media Big Shots Hiding From The Press?
No one respects a news man that can dish it out but can't take it.
If these guys can't take the heat and should get out of the kitchen.

As a writer, you consistently run the risk of pissing someone off. For the particularly thin-skinned, writers can be a chronic pain in the ass. One benefit many journalists have is the protection and support of their editors. Former Greenwich Time reporter Teri Buhl says she was not so fortunate.
Buhl wrote a blog on financial news for the Hearst-owned paper. Last month, she was not only fired but her blog disappeared. Her work virtually evaporated, as if she were never employed there.
Why has Hearst chosen to take such a hard line?.....

This balancing, like any debate, will have proponents and opponents whose desires are at odds with each other. The task put to the RTM and its members requires orderly and fair discussion and debate of the questions and issues at hand.
