Democrat Ned Lamont Exploring A Run For Governor In 2010 Hartford Courant
In a move that sharply changes the dynamics of the governor's race, Greenwich entrepreneur Ned Lamont announced Wednesday that he is opening an exploratory committee for governor.
If Lamont spent only half of what he spent in 2006, he would clearly outspend all other candidates in the race.
Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell has not made any formal announcements, but she has formed an exploratory committee that is raising small amounts of money under the public-financing guidelines. With far higher name recognition than the pre-Lamont Democratic candidates, Rell has had the luxury of delaying any official announcements. Her supporters concede that her name recognition has given her a multi-million-dollar advantage over the Democrats who have been in the race so far.
Lamont, though, has high name-recognition statewide, particularly in the Republican strongholds of Fairfield County that have provided votes for the last three governors - Rell, John G. Rowland, and Lowell P. Weicker, Jr. The Democrats have not won the governor's race since 1986 - a drought that will stretch to 24 years by next year's election.
"As I have continued to meet with citizens across our state over the last three years, as co-chairman of President Obama's Connecticut campaign and on behalf of health care reform, I have been constantly reminded that Connecticut is not living up to its potential and that too many of our families are being left behind," Lamont said in a statement.......
Currently, Lamont is chairman of Campus Televideo, a firm that he created after moving to Greenwich more than two decades ago. Originally called Lamont Television Systems when the young Lamont was serving on the Greenwich board of selectmen, the company has had various names through the years.
He is also currently teaching political science and overseeing a policy center at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain.
Lamont is planning a speech at CCSU on Thursday that is entitled: "An Entrepreneur's Approach to Government: Businesses reinvent themselves all the time; Why am I still waiting in line at the DMV?''......

Sternlicht Bets on Greenwich Rebound by Raising Home Price to $6 Million w/Photo Bloomberg
Sternlicht, who helped build Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. and took his real estate investment company public this year, raised the asking price of his 5.8-acre estate there to $5.95 million, even as the town is headed for its worst year for property sales in more than three decades.
“We increased it because we felt like we were giving it away,” and there was interest in the property, Sternlicht’s broker, Jean Ruggiero of William Raveis Real Estate, said in an interview. “Just because people are lowering their price doesn’t mean it’s right, because he’s not a desperate seller.”
Sternlicht, 48, raised his price 8.3 percent from $5.495 million as single-family home sales in Greenwich slid 40 percent to 245 this year through September, according to data from local broker Russell Pruner, owner of Shore & Country Properties. As prices fall and inventory rises in the town, which is home to more than 100 hedge funds, Sternlicht’s Starwood Property Trust Inc., raised $810 million to invest in distressed commercial and residential real estate debt.
Sternlicht was chairman of Starwood Hotels, the third- largest U.S. lodging company, from 1997 to 2005 and has been chief executive officer of closely held investment firm Starwood Capital Group LLC since its founding in 1991. He’s also chairman and CEO of Starwood Property Trust Inc......

Slideshow/Video At first festive, Dems grow deflated as poll results arrive
Democratic Town Committee member Frank Farricker started the evening on Tuesday optimistic about his party's odds.
Minutes before voter tallies began trickling in around 8 p.m., Farricker said his fellow Democrat Lin Lavery was running neck-and-neck with Republican incumbent Peter Tesei in the first selectman polls -- by as narrow as a 500-vote margin.
Several cars were broken into in northwest Greenwich overnight, police discovered Tuesday morning. Police were called to 6 Mansion Place, off King Street, at around 6:15 a. m. to respond to a car break-in. When they arrived, they noticed five more cars on Bowman Drive, Stonehedge Drive South and Stonehedge Drive North had also been burglarized. A GPS unit was taken from one of the vehicles, according to Lt. Daniel Allen, but he did not have information on any other items that had been stolen.

Greenwich Hospital doctor ensnared in sex scandal
After ending a torrid affair, a Greenwich Hospital doctor is now entangled in a legal battle with his ex-mistress who claims the prominent surgeon had sex with her in the sterile wing of the hospital while on duty and injected her with botox without authorization.
Dr. Stephen Carolan, 52, who heads up the hospital's Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, filed a lawsuit in September arguing his ex-mistress set out on a "campaign of defamation conducted over the Internet" seeking to tarnish Carolan's name and practice with lies.
The mistress, Jill Kent, 64, of Greenwich, and her lawyer, Mark Sherman, shot back last month with a counter lawsuit arguing Kent's Internet posts describing their sexual trysts at the hospital were true and alleging Carolan acted "unethical" in his professional capacity.
In court papers, Kent claims Carolan sent her "photographs of his erect penis" while he was working as a surgeon at the hospital and that he instructed her to get a hepatitis C vaccine and test after having sex with her, leading Kent to believe the doctor may have contracted the sexually transmitted disease......

10/02/09 'Affair' by the Greenwich Hospital O.R.
A prominent, married Connecticut surgeon repeatedly had sex with his mistress in a sterile wing of Greenwich Hospital within feet of "patients, operating rooms, nurses and staff," according to allegations contained in legal papers.
Dr. Stephen Carolan, 51, even "took photographs of his erect penis" in the same secure area of Greenwich Hospital, where he heads the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, and later gave the revealing photos to his mistress, according to claims made by the woman before a court.
The mistress, Jill Kent, further claims in the papers that Carolan told her to get a hepatitis C vaccine or test after sleeping with her and that he "illegally injected her with Botox treatments" despite not being authorized by the hospital or his employer to do so.
The seamy allegations surfaced in a lawsuit Carolan filed last month in Bridgeport Superior Court against his now-former lover, Kent, charging that she defamed him and inflicted emotional distress by making a series of false claims against him on the Internet after he ended their affair.
Kent, in turn, has filed a reply and a counterclaim, alleging defamation by Carolan, which details their alleged trysts near the O.R. and what she describes as Carolan's amateur porn photography, among other things.
When The Post called to ask about his lawsuit against Kent, Carolan immediately said, "I have no comment," before hanging up.
A rep for the hospital, George Pawlush, when asked about the situation, replied: "We will review the matter."
Carolan's suit said he began having an affair with Kent -- the owner of a Greenwich business called Electronic Interiors -- in February 2008.
Carolan said that when his wife learned of the affair, she "demanded that [he] end it, which he did," last December.
Kent, however, said in her court filing that their affair continued until this past spring.
According to Carolan's suit, since the couple broke up, "defendant Kent has conducted a defamatory vendetta against" the doctor "with an escalating series of malicious falsehoods that she has published on the Internet."
Kent also is accused in the suit of making online postings in August "which appeared as if [they] were authored by" Carolan's wife, claiming that he was "a pervert," among "other heinous accusations."

"My niece is a 7th grader at Western Middle School and I feel that the lack of special ed services are woefully inadequate. Her report card will have B grades but she doesn't know how to add or subtract, and she has learned very little there.
Wondering if a private evaluation would help her get additional services since she is in desperate need of them. The teachers have taken very little interest in her and the school just seems to be pushing her along without tending to her needs."

11/01/09 Governor Jodi Rell Backs Greenwich First Selectman Peter Tesei
The Greenwich Time Has Refused To Back Peter Tesei, But No One Reads The Out Of Touch Local Rag ......"I am very pleased that Peter Tesei is seeking a second term as Greenwich's First Selectman. He is someone the people of Greenwich trust, respect and can count on to effectively address some of the toughest challenges facing the town, especially in these difficult times. I have enjoyed working with him over the past two years and I encourage Greenwich voters to support Peter's re-election this November."
– Governor M. Jodi Rell
Others Who Are Enorsing Peter Tesei
"In what has arguably been the most challenging time to govern since the 1930s, Peter Tesei has risen to the task. Simply put, he is the right man, in the right spot, at the right time."
- State Representative Fred Camillo
"As Chairman of the Board of Education, I've worked closely with Peter during the past two years. As an effective, moderate, and decisive leader, Peter has done everything in his power to support our schools, always putting the interests of our students first. He knows that providing a high-quality school system is one of the core community values in Greenwich."
- Nancy Weissler, Chairman Greenwich board of Education
"Peter Tesei has extraordinary leadership skills which he has recently best demonstrated in successfully navigating our town through the worst financial circumstances since the Great Depression. In conjunction with the BET, he has delivered a balanced budget with only a minor increase in property taxes and negligible reductions in service to the residents of Greenwich. He has positioned the town to weather the financial storm and emerge even stronger in the future. It is an honor to serve with someone who has such an impeccable record and terrific personality and who has selflessly devoted 22 years of his life to the town and community that we all cherish."
- State Senator Scott Frantz
"Peter Tesei has a long and effective record showing outstanding leadership in serving the Town of Greenwich. With his experience as a member of the RTM, as Chairman of the Board of Estimate and most recently as First Selectman for the last two years, he has demonstrated his ability to tackle and solve the challenges Greenwich faces. Peter has a rare talent which combines understanding and managing the details of the Town’s budget while also having an intimate knowledge of the people and communities that make Greenwich the unique and wonderful place that it is. The best way to move Greenwich forward is to keep Peter at the helm and reelect him as our First Selectman."
- Former State Senator Bill Nickerson
"Peter Tesei has a proven 20 year plus record of leadership, service and commitment. From his career in banking to his service in the RTM, the Board of Taxation and Estimate, the Budget Committee and now as Greenwich’s First Selectman, Peter Tesei has demonstrated that he is the leader our community continues to require in these economically challenging times. Peter Tesei knows how to make the hard decisions. He listens, deliberates and acts with clarity and determination. Greenwich is fortunate to have a leader who has demonstrated he is able to be an effective First Selectman. Based on his impressive first term as First Selectman Peter Tesei deserves our support and our vote. Join all of his supporters in voting for Peter Tesei on November 2, 2009."
- Lolly Prince, Former First Selectman, Town of Greenwich
"It is a joy to endorse Peter Tesei for re-election. Peter has a proven, quantifiable, track record of success - in business, as a community volunteer, in the RTM, as chair of the BET, and as First Selectman."
- State Representative Livvy Floren
I am writing in support of Peter Tesei. My reasons have nothing to do with politics and everything to do with my personal experience working with him in town government.
From the vantage point of my positions as a member of both the RTM and BET for a total of 27 years, I have observed his competence as he has worked with difficult issues and with people of many different persuasions. He knows very well how this town functions and he has ably led his district, the Board of Estimate, and, now, for two years, the Town of Greenwich as a whole in a constructive direction.
I believe he has the experience and proven leadership to best serve the town for the next terms as First Selectman.
- Val Storms, Former Member of the Greenwich Board of Estimate and Taxation, and Chair of the BET Budget committee
As a former chairman of the Board of Education, I worked closely with Peter Tesei, the then Chairman of the Board of Estimate and Taxation.
I found him to be a consultative leader who listens as well as he speaks. At the time, he was respectful of the Board of Education's hard work to raise standards, improve facilities (including the rebuilding of Hamilton Avenue School, Glenville School, and the improvement of athletic facilities with artificial turf), and to institutionalize greater accountability. Best of all he was accessible and helpful. Peter Tesei is a Republican who supports the public schools.
More recently, I was impressed by Peter's response as First Selectman to reduce the size of town government when the economy stalled.
However, necessary, laying off one's neighbors is not easy to do. It requires not only courage, but also the ability to set priorities and to act compassionately. Peter recognized that, during a recession, we all have less to spend on everything. Moreover, his actions demonstrated his effective working relationship with the Board of Estimate and Taxation.
So, on Nov 3, I plan to support Peter Tesei for First Selectman and Dave Theis for Selectman. Their priorities are mine: connect with the community, maintain essential local services, demand excellence, and keep town spending under control.
- Sandy Waters, Former Chair of the Greenwich Board of Education
Privilege is a word often used by those who live outside of Greenwich to describe the type of life that they believe that those of us who live in Greenwich lead. I believe that while the use of the word is most appropriate to describe those of us fortunate enough to live here, the meaning those using it are ascribing to the word is incorrect.
As a lifelong resident (well nearly except for college, graduate school and a short time before I was able to move the miracle mile back to Greenwich), I am indeed privileged to live in a community as vibrant and supportive as Greenwich.
I live in a place where dedicated and caring people give of themselves to make their community a better place. I live in a place where volunteerism thrives. I live in a place which has a wonderful school system, beautiful parks and a charm that few other communities are able to sustain.
I live in a place where we are so fortunate to have intelligent, responsive and responsible people wanting to be a part of government.
It is simply not possible for everyone to agree on every action that a political figure undertakes or suggests. So, in deciding whom to vote for, it is most important to look at the candidate's integrity, the body of their work, whether they have good intentions and whether the course they want the town to travel corresponds with the voter's own view of what is desirable and a viable course.
I knowPeter Tesei personally and believe that his moral character is unwaveringly strong and set on the right course. I know how hard he has worked for the good of the town and know that he has made difficult decisions in a difficult time. I know that he recognizes that there are many difficult decisions yet to be made and is prepared to make them. I also know Lin Lavery and know that Lin has strong beliefs and believe that she too has the town's well being at heart in the decisions that she has and will make. I hope that Lin will continue to be a leader in the town.
On Election Day, however, no one can vote for two first selectmen. You can only vote for one.
With the considerations I have set forth above, I will be casting my vote on Election Day for Peter Tesei. As a resident of Greenwich, it is my privilege to do so.
- Jeremy E. Kaye, Greenwich, CT
"Peter Tesei has a track record of proven performance. He has accomplished government by consensus."
- Frank Trotta
"Bright, measured, principled, and respectful of all Greenwich residents, Peter is the embodiment of what we all want in a public official."
- Joe Romano
UPDATE:
The Heast Corporation Changes It's Tune
"The people of Greenwich have spoken – loudly – and given First Selectman Peter Tesei a ringing endorsement of his first term in office and the privilege of beginning a second"
– The Ass Kissing Greenwich Time, November 4, 2009
