“Though almost everyone wants the DHSR replaced, the 2026 plan replaces a modest neighborhood rink with a massively expanded arena that will dramatically change the character and ambiance of Morlot Park and the surrounding neighborhood.” – Mark D. Fichtel Continue Reading →
“Any parent spending a day at any of crosswalks by the schools would clearly see had bad it is. This is clearly a safety issue not a money grab from the town.” – Lou Veltri, Old Greenwich Continue Reading →
“To my fellow Greenwich drivers fuming over a speeding ticket received while barreling past an elementary school — perhaps direct that energy toward the gas pedal instead of the town council. The cameras aren’t the problem. The speeding is.” — Michael R. Kennedy, a Greenwich resident, parent of young children, and personal injury lawyer who has seen firsthand what happens when a 4,000-pound vehicle meets a 60-pound child. Slow down.

“Query: Is it possible that every driver in Greenwich needs to self-reflect and determine their culpability in the town-wide problem of speeding? What is more, is it fair to issue an oppressive number of violations that otherwise surpass the total population of Greenwich, both driving and non-driving persons, by more than the total number of residents in Greenwich plus the entire population of the Town of Darien or New Canaan?” – Andrew Melillo Continue Reading →

Jansen, former member of the Board of Estimate and Taxation and served for 18 years on the RTM Continue Reading →

“While everyone agrees the current facility has outlived its life cycle, the “Modified Flip” proposal in Eugene Morlot Memorial Park is a 20th-century solution to a 21st-century opportunity. Build the Harborside Recreation Hub at 100 Arch Street and renovate the existing Hamill rink as a low-impact neighborhood facility.” – James J O’Brien Continue Reading →
“Bad assumptions. We all make them. Like assuming we can drive across town in 20 minutes and then get stuck in traffic, so we are late for an appointment.” – Peter Berg Continue Reading →
“This marks Goldstein’s third campaign for the seat, following a 2024 race in which he earned over 122,000 votes — the strongest Republican performance against Himes in years — while spending just $1.27 per vote, one of the most efficient congressional campaigns in the country.” – Dr. Michael Goldstein, Greenwich Continue Reading →
“I highlight state employee compensation given it is such a significant percentage of the budget. The focus should be on cutting spending, not raising taxes. People should be contacting their legislative representatives and the Governor to voice their opinions. The election in November needs to be a referendum on the Democrat’s exorbitant spending levels.” – Jerry Cincotta Continue Reading →
