“The RTM is voting in June to accept the Greenwich Speed Camera plan. We all want our children to be safe, but we do not want our Town to be the honey pot for an out of state Equity Fund.” – Janet Lockton Continue Reading →
“At a time when we constantly speak about the mental health crisis facing children, the isolation many feel, and the need for meaningful connection and purpose, programs like Saint Catherine’s Players are not expendable luxuries. They are lifelines. They are ministries in their own right.” – Dr. Jennifer Bencivewngo Continue Reading →
“Many Greenwich residents support genuine safety improvements without Big Brother cameras: more police visibility during school hours, speed-feedback signs, traffic-calming designs, better crosswalks, and flashing beacons. These alternatives enhance safety without privacy invasions or secretive contracting.” – Karen Fassuliotis Continue Reading →
“What started as a conversation about modernizing an aging facility has grown into a comprehensive redesign of Morlot Park — relocated fields, regraded terrain, retaining walls, new access roads, geothermal infrastructure.

“Delaying or altering this now will only increase costs, extend disruption, and risk losing the momentum of a process that has already been completed the right way.” – group letter Continue Reading →
“Recently, I applied a planimeter—a mechanical tool for measuring hard copies of the site plan area, pre computers, of the existing and proposed plans for the Hamill Rink. The results: ‘The Flip’ adds approximately a 35% increase in impervious surfaces to Morlot Park.” – James O’Brien Continue Reading →
“Ink spilled here recently on how the rink redevelopment project should enjoy an ocean view…It may not be a water view, but when that Zamboni floats past the glass it will be as majestic as any ship on the Sound.” – Brian Raabe Continue Reading →
“BOE lawsuit. It has already cost the town $500,000 as of the end of March. The town attorney suggested that the legal bills could run as high as $25,000 per month. Twenty-four hours after the RTM BOC meeting, Fred filed another motion seeking to remove indemnification for only Democrats on the BOE, including one who is no longer there. How Trumpian. Pure retribution.” – Jim Finn Continue Reading →
“The project recommended by the Task Force, with extremely broad public support and the clear support of the Board of Selectmen and every other governmental body which has examined it – is now before the RTM. Not Mr. Berg’s (or any other) rejected proposal.” – Joe Rothenberg Continue Reading →
“The RTM is not being asked to choose between Morlot Park and 100 Arch Street. The responsible Town bodies have already reviewed the alternatives, and the Board of Selectmen has removed 100 Arch Street from consideration.” – Javier Aleman Continue Reading →
