Leona Helmsley's Greenwich Estate: Price Drops 40% (SLIDESHOW)
Huffington Post
The late Leona Helmsley's mansion in Greenwich, Conn., is now on sale at the discount price of $75 million, down from the already cut-rate $95 million it ...
\
A recent conference sponsored by the South West Regional Planning Agency held some startling examples in that poster-boy of affluence, Greenwich. This 67 square mile city of 61,000 has 5,545 municipal employees: teachers, cops, firefighters and the like. However, 67 percent of those workers don’t live in Greenwich, but commute daily from Danbury, Bridgeport, Westchester, N.Y., and even Long Island.

They spend an average of 103 minutes per day just getting to and from work, paying more than $2,000 a year for gas. Combined, they add 15,000 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, just by their commuting.

In a city where the median home price is $2 million, the average Greenwich city worker makes $65,000. And because these teachers, civil servants and such have to come so far, they have to be paid more. The average teacher in Greenwich earns $12,338 a year more than their counterparts elsewhere in the state. These higher wages cost city taxpayers almost $19 million a year. But their larger paychecks come at the cost of lost time and expense on the road.

The Greenwich schools spend $10,000 to $15,000 recruiting and training each new teacher. But after five years of commuting (75 percent of the 912 teachers don’t live in Greenwich), they burn out, leave and find jobs elsewhere. Between 1998 and 2007, 581 teachers left Greenwich for reasons other than retirement and 81 percent of them had less than eight years on the job.

EMS workers in Greenwich have it even worse, averaging 151 minutes (2.5 hours!) commute time. Just how fresh and ready for life-saving work do you think you’d be with a commute like that?

Greenwich is not unique. All of the towns on “the Gold Coast” rely on importing personnel from far afield. Schools in Darien often announce “snow days” not because its roads are impassable, but because teachers can’t drive through the snows farther north from communities like Danbury where they can afford to live.

And what about the people that bag your groceries, clean your home or pump your gas? Where do you think they live? Just drive the Boston Post Road some morning and you’ll see them waiting for the bus.

Fairfield County has its own “migrant workers.” We couldn’t live with out them, but apparently we don’t want to live with them. Just listen to the local debates about adding “affordable housing” in these affluent towns.
Whether because of their nationality or economic status, the expressed aversion to “those people” living in “our” towns is clearly xenophobic if not racist........

Greenwich Time's Letters To The Editor
Letters from Readers - Fomenting anger - The ultra-right is cynically creating unrest


To the editor:

This town Democrat gives a big "thank you" to state Republicans for putting forward an alternative budget, which reflects your philosophies and principles ("Tax hikes absent in GOP plan," Greenwich Time, April 17). I may not agree with the plan, but maybe this will provide a lesson for your brethren in Congress and the media on how things should be done in this country.

This has been a very sad week for democracy, filled with phony outrage and mock populism, stirred up by cynical manipulators, radio con men and alleged news organizations that are anything but "fair and balanced."

Give it whatever name you like, but ultra-conservative Republicanism was soundly defeated in the past two national elections. Power does not yield respectfully, and so the commentators, bloggers, partisan interest groups and, unfortunately, many elected officials who are in danger of being marginalized have employed slash-and-burn tactics. They toss around words like fascism, treason and revolution, and disrespect the real words and deeds of our Founding Fathers by equating current policies with tyranny....

....In 2009, who will be our Joseph Welch, the attorney for the U.S. Army in 1954? When confronted with the vile and unsubstantiated attacks by Joseph McCarthy upon an innocent man, he stood firm and accused the accuser thusly: "You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?" Maybe our own Connecticut Republicans will be the ones to show that cooperation and finding common ground are better than the shrieks and howls of an increasingly vile but I hope a less influential extreme right wing.

All Voices In Greenwich Society Will Be Heard, Because David McCumber Is A Prize-Winning Investigative Editor With Journalistic Balls And Specialized In Local Reporting At The Seattle Post-Intelligencer

PRESS RELEASE: Hearst Newspapers Names David McCumber Editor of The Advocate & Greenwich Time & Editorial Director of Hearst's Connecticut Newspaper Group

New York, NY

NEW YORK, Hearst Newspapers announced today that David McCumber has been named editor of two of Hearst's Connecticut newspapers, The Advocate of Stamford and the Greenwich Time, as well as editorial director of its Connecticut Newspaper Group.

The announcement was made by Steven R. Swartz, president, Hearst Newspapers, and Mark E. Aldam, senior vice president for Hearst Newspapers. The appointment is effective April 27.

"David has been a valuable member of the Hearst Newspapers team for the last decade and we are excited to have his leadership at The Advocate and Greenwich Time," Swartz said. "He will also bring a wealth of editorial experience and journalistic vision to all our of Connecticut papers."

Additionally, McCumber will assist in coordinating and editing investigative journalism across the Newspaper Group, working with Phil Bronstein, editor-at-large for both Hearst Newspapers and the San Francisco Chronicle, and investigative reporters and editors at the other Hearst newspapers.

Most recently, McCumber was managing editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. During his nine years in that position, he worked to establish the newspaper's prize-winning investigative team and strengthened the P-I in other areas, particularly local reporting and photography. McCumber joined the P-I in 1999 as senior editor for projects and has more than 30 years of experience in journalism at more than 10 newspapers. He is a former executive editor of the Santa Barbara News-Press and former Sunday editor, city editor and assistant managing editor of the San Francisco Examiner.

McCumber was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in 1984 at the Arizona Daily Star for a project he directed and helped to write on abuses in defense procurement. He is the author of four nonfiction books, most recently An Air That Kills, co-authored with Andrew Schneider, based on a P-I series that revealed the asbestos poisoning of a tiny town in Montana. Other books include: The Cowboy Way: Seasons of a Montana Ranch; Playing off the Rail; and X-Rated: The Mitchell Brothers.

In addition to the The Advocate and Greenwich Time, Hearst's Connecticut Newspaper Group includes two additional dailies, the Connecticut Post in Bridgeport and The News-Times in Danbury, and six weekly newspapers in Fairfield County. The Connecticut Post, with roots that go back to 1883, is southwestern Connecticut's largest circulation daily newspaper and has been recognized with many honors, including the 2008 Newspaper of the Year Award from the New England Newspaper Association

Hearst Corporation (http://www.hearst.com/) is one of the nation's largest diversified media companies. Its major interests include ownership of 15 daily and 49 weekly newspapers, including the Houston Chronicle, San Francisco Chronicle and Albany Times Union; as well as interests in an additional 43 daily and 72 non-daily newspapers owned by MediaNews Group, which include the Denver Post and Salt Lake Tribune; nearly 200 magazines around the world, including Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan and O, The Oprah Magazine; 29 television stations through Hearst-Argyle Television (NYSE: HTV) which reach a combined 18% of U.S. viewers; ownership in leading cable networks, including Lifetime, A&E, History and ESPN; as well as business publishing, including a minority joint venture interest in Fitch Ratings; Internet businesses, television production, newspaper features distribution and real estate.

DID YOU HEAR THE LATEST JOKE GOING AROUND GREENWICH?
Question: What Do You Say If Failed Greenwich Time Managing Editor Bruce Hunter Wanders Into Your Office?
Answer: "I Understand You're A Newspaper Editor. I Assume You're Here To Apply For A Job."

FOR THE RECORD:
Greenwich Roundup Has Been A Big Fan Of The Tough As Nails Local Reporting At The Post-Intelligencer For Quite A While.
Things Are Really Screwed Up At Hearst Newspapers

Hearst Newspapers Is Closing Down A Really Good Newspaper In Seattle While It Sends It's Corporate Lawyers To Attack A Blogger Who Criticized A Really Bad Newspaper That Has An Editor With A Thin Skin.

What the Star Tribune and the Greenwich Time could learn from Seattle P-I as bankruptcy looms

When Hearst Corporation announced it put Seattl's oldest newspaper, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, , up for sale, the newsroom didn't hesitate to report on it. It's news after all, they say.

The clock is ticking on the paper's future and time is starting to run out. Hearst is waiting 60 days to find a new owner, otherwise the paper could go online-only or close completely. Talk about a downer of a week for a newspaper that has gained a lot of respect in recent years as it upped its local coverage.

The paper is now doing something risky and pretty unique. They are documenting their own unknown future and giving readers a window into a frightened and most likely depressed newsroom as everyone waits for good news.

The Star Tribune, which could file bankruptcy in less than two weeks, should use Seattle P-I as an example of how a newspaper handles its own potential downfall.Seattle P-I had video coverage of Hearst Newspaper Division President Steve Swartz telling the staff that the newspaper will go up for sale.

Here's The Video......

Nothing Is More Disgraceful Than A Hearst Newspaper Editor Trying To Silience A Blogger Who Criticized A Newspaper.

But When Greenwich Roundup Criticizes Bruce Hunter's Performance He Runs To Hearst Newspaper's Corporate Lawyers And Threatens A Lawsuit. Thin Skinned Hunter's Threaten lawsuit is “nothing more than a slap suit
Note:

A Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation ("SLAPP") is a lawsuit that is intended to intimidate and silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defense until they abandon their criticism or opposition. Winning the lawsuit is not necessarily the intent of the person filing the SLAPP. The plaintiff's goals are accomplished if the defendant succumbs to fear, intimidation, mounting legal costs or simple exhaustion and abandons the criticism. A SLAPP may also intimidate others from participating in the debate

Greenwich Time Publisher John "I Can't Pick A Winning Team" Dunster And Thin Skinned Greenwich Time Managing Editor Bruce Hunter Both Have Their Panties In A Bunch.

Greenwich Roundup Spoke On The Phone Twice With Hearst Newspaper Editor Ravi Sitwalla Today To Follow Up On An Email Or Phone Call. Mr. Sitwalla Confirmed That We Had An Understanding And That Greenwich Time Managing Editor Bruce Hunter Would Send An Email With Specific Links To Posts That He Thought Might Violate Hearst Newspaper Copyrights.

Hearst Corporate Lawyer Ravi Sitwalla Said He Wanted To Send A Second Email "Clarifying Some Issues".

When Asked About This He Said That Greenwich Time Is Still Upset At The Continued Posts In Greenwich Roundup About The Management Of The Paper.

I Told Ravi, That This Is The Problem With Hearst Newspaper's Threatened Legal Actions Against Greenwich Roundup. It Is Clear That Thin Skinned Greenwich Time Editor Bruce Hunter's Actions Are Motivated To Intimidate And Silence A Critic.

Now Even When The Critic Has Agreed To Accommodate The Hearst Corporation Hunter Still Seeks Threatens To Limit Greenwich Roundups Rights With A Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation ("SLAPP")

Unfortunately the goal of Thin Skinned Greenwich Time Managing Editor's lawsuit that is intended to intimidate and silence a critic by burdening him with the cost of a legal defense with the hope that Greenwich Roundup will abandon its criticisms.

If Greenwich Roundup lets Thin Skinned Greenwich Time Managing Editor Bruce Hunter Get Away With This What's To Stop Him From Using Hearst Corporation Lawyers From Going After Greenwich Blogger Bill Clark When His Greenwich Gossip Once Again Calls The Greenwich Time The "Yellowich Time"?

Or Will Thin Skinned Bruce Hunter Use Hearst Corporation Lawyers To After Greenwich Blogger Chris Fountain Next Time He Criticizes "The Local Rag" In His For What Its Worth Blog.

Bruce Hunter Is more than happy to waste Hearst Corporation Assets on a lawsuit with the goals getting a defendant succumbs to fear, intimidation, mounting legal costs or simple exhaustion In an effort to get a critic to abandon His criticism.

Bruce Hunter's Goals Are Clearly Also Designed To Intimidate Others Bloggers From Criticizing His Job Performance.......

TheDay.Com

Business smarts aside, the governor's nominee to fill an empty seat on the state Board of Education raises questions of suitability.
Greenwich executive Linda McMahon is Greenwich executive Linda McMahon is certainly an accomplished and successful businesswoman. In fact, according to Gov. M. Jodi Rell's own press release recommending Ms. McMahon for the board that establishes academic standards and sets policy for Connecticut's 149 local and 17 regional school districts, she is “widely recognized as one of the entertainment industry's top female executives.”

Our disagreement is not with Ms. McMahon's business abilities, but rather her line of work. She is the chief executive officer of the Stamford-based World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., parent corporation of “Raw,” “Royal Rumble,” “Smackdown” and other productions that combine wrestling and acting for bizarre entertainment.

No Connecticut school would condone the ring behavior of the WWE's biggest headliners. Some lessons a child might learn from watching a WWE event: Being a violent bully is cool. Smashing someone over the head with a metal chair won't cause serious injury. Women are sex objects and attracted to the most brutish men. It's entertaining to make fun of people.........

The Greenwich Time Reporters Who Work For Hearst Newspapers Don't Have The Journalistic Balls To Go To Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg And Say, "Hey Chief, What Happened To Those Crime Statistics You Promised The Taxpayers Of Greenwich?

Greenwich Time Reporters Don't Have The Journalistic Balls To Hold Chief Ridberg Accountable To The Single Family Homeowners Of Greenwich.

When CT Senator Chris Dodd Promised And Did Not Deliver Documents To The Public About His Countrywide Loans Wall Street Journal Reporters Had The Journalistic Balls To Say,"Say Hey, Chris Where Are Those Loan Documents."

But The Cowardly Greenwich Time Reporters Are Afraid Of Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg, Because He Is Thin Skinned And Uses Police Resources To Retaliate Against Critics.

Time And Time Again, Greenwich Residents Have Heard Police Chief Ribderg Go On Local Radio Station WGCH And Repeatedly Attack Attorney Lindy Urso, Greenwich Roundup And Others.

Over A Year Ago Greenwich Roundup Was Complaining About Crime In Byram And Unsolved Murders In Greenwich At This Blog And On Sam Romeo's Greenwich Matters Radio Program On WGCH.

I Have Often Agreed With Fellow Blogger Greenwich Blogger Bill Clarke Who Often Says,"Greenwich Is The Safest Town In America To Commit A Murder."

About Eight Or Nine Months Ago, Greenwich Police Union Chief And RTM Member Sgt. James Bonney In A Public Meeting Said That He Refused To Live In Cental Byram Because He Did Not Want His Children Exposed To The Drugs And Gangs Violence.

The Police Union President Also Said That Many Greenwich Police Department Officers Used To Live In Byram, But Moved Out Because They Did Not Want To Expose Thier Families To The Drugs And Quality Of Life Issues.

It Is Greenwich's Dirty Little Secret That Byram Has Progressively Gotten More Dangerous And Worse Over The Last Five Or Six Years.

One Day Greenwich Roundup Has To Figure Out Away To Get His Byram RTM Meeting Recordings Or the Police 911 and Radio recordings that have been obtained through Freedom Of Information Requests Up On This Blog.

Here Are How Police Resources Are Used In Crime Ridden Byram:

A Little Over A Year Ago Greenwich Roundup Criticized New Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg For Repeatedly Going On WGCH And Attacking Attorney Lindy Urso For Saying That This Police Departments Theory That Andrew Kisseel Case Was A "Suicide For Hire".
Greenwich Round Up Also Criticized The Greenwich Police Departments Repeated Failures To Solve Murders In Town And It's Failures To Stem The Growing Crime Problem In Byram.Further, Greenwich Roundup Criticized How New Police Chief David Ridberg Managed The Department.
