03/04/10 Greenwich Resident Linda McMahon Wants You To Watch This Video: My Story

Linda McMahon For Senate

Greenwich Roundup —

Connecticut families are tired of business as usual and all of us are looking for someone who can go to Washington and shake things up - not another politician, but a fresh face with a new perspective.

In my new television ad, my daughter, Stephanie, tells the story of how my husband, Vince, and I recovered from bankruptcy and built a successful global company that today employs over 500 people right here in Connecticut.

As someone who has lived the American Dream, I recognize that today that dream is in danger. I'm running for Senate to make sure we preserve opportunity in Connecticut and across America by getting government out of the way, and restoring common sense, fiscally conservative principles in Washington.

Breaking News About GEMA

In a show of faith in current union leadership, the members of the Greenwich Municipal Employees Association (GMEA) voted down an attempt to bring the union under the umbrella of the Laborer's International Union of North America. By a 227 to 126 margin, with seven members voting to support neither, the membership voted to retain the current union leadership, which has come under fire recently as members have accused them of misusing union dues.

However, Charles LeConche, business manager for Connecticut's LIUNA chapter, told the Post that efforts to investigate GMEA President Rosalie Mastropaolo and the union's executive board would continue and he would be contacting both the State's Attorney's Office and the Internal Revenue Service.

More details will be available tomorrow at greenwich-post.com

UPDATE:

Better Late Than Never

GMEA prevails in takeover bid by LIUNA


...

A message seeking comment from Rosalie Mastropaolo, GMEA's president for the past five years, was left at her home Wednesday night.


A takeover of GMEA would have meant that two-thirds of all municipal employees would be represented by LIUNA, which already consists of 415 middle managers.

"Before, it was us going after them. This time it was them coming after us," said Charles LeConche, business manager of the Connecticut Laborers' District Council, which is part of LIUNA.

Despite losing the vote, LeConche said the whole exercise was fruitful in uncovering a series of abuses of power by the GMEA leadership.

"Their name, GMEA, in Greenwich is mud now," LeConche said....

Greenwich Time Reporter Niel Vigdor Is Still Playing Catch Up

With The Greenwich Post On The GEMA Scandal

....

Two GMEA members contacted Greenwich police detectives last week to try to initiate a criminal investigation into the matter. They also claimed that the GMEA is broke and cannot afford to pay the fees of a lawyer that the union uses on retainer.

Mastropaolo denied any wrongdoing and said the union has $51,000 between its checking and savings accounts and three certificates of deposit to cover $29,000 in outstanding fees owed to Stamford lawyer Mark Santagata for labor-related matters.

But LeConche isn't dropping the matter, which he said he plans to bring up with the state's attorney's office and the IRS.

"If you break the law, you deserve to be prosecuted, and they broke the law," LeConche said. "It's not about winning an election."....
