Fassuliotis: The Oversized Ladle, A Response to Mr. Raabe

By: |

“And the Mayflower bit? Chef’s kiss. I never claimed to have built the ship, Brian—just that after 50 years here, I’ve watched enough fiscal sleight-of-hand to spot a ‘don’t worry, the mill rate will save us’ mirage from a mile away. You’ve got 25 years? Congrats on the silver medal in the ‘I’ve Been Here Long Enough to Lecture You’ Olympics. No extra votes, as you so helpfully pointed out, but plenty of extra property taxes to show for it with no changes in the services we get.” – Karen Fassuliotis Continue Reading →

“The Committee respectfully recommends that the Task Force seek community input through a town-
wide survey. The Facility occupies a unique position in our town, as a waterfront property with significant public value and a long history of serving community needs.

Fassuliotis: The Dangerous Deception – Unmasking the Myths in Greenwich’s Property Revaluation

By: |

“First, the core claim—that the mill rate ‘automatically adjusts downward to neutralize assessment spikes—is built on a foundation of sand. It assumes the town budget stays frozen. But that’s a fantasy in Greenwich, where spending has recently surged relentlessly, thanks to First Selectman Fred Camillo’s bloated budget and Schools Superintendent Toni Jones runaway school spending. ” – Karen Fassuliotis former Republican BET member Continue Reading →

Raabe: Ryan Fazio, 96% Wrong for Connecticut.

By: |

“Would candidate Fazio be waving in large scale ICE operations like he waived in Project Veritas as they went after Greenwich Schools? He was literally at the podium for their rally against Greenwich.  Would he wear the same ear to ear grin he had for James’ O’Keefe when Tom Homan of ICE comes trundling into Connecticut?” – Brian Raabe, Greenwichc Continue Reading →

Duus: A Necessary Pause on State Employee Wage Growth

By: |

“Last week, as the legislative session convened, Governor Ned Lamont released details of his proposed adjustments to the State’s FY 2027 budget. Despite recent claims of fiscal restraint, total spending would still increase by 5.7% over the current fiscal year, with an increase in employee compensation remaining the single largest driver of that growth.” – Andy Duus, Riverside Continue Reading →

Khanna: History is repeating itself. We must speak up.

By: |

“We can’t fool ourselves into believing that we can sit on the sidelines and things will be ok. To date, the current administration has continued to undermine democratic norms by exerting control over the press including raiding journalists’ homes; they are condoning the shooting of innocent civilians exercising their first amendment rights; they are grabbing up voter rolls and election ballots; and they are threatening to seize a sovereign territory.” – Rachel Khanna Continue Reading →

Byram Resident: DH Rink flip plan falls flat.

By: |

“Over the past ten months, the TF’s site evaluation process was bumpy, often cracked. They overstepped their “charge” by rejecting alternative site options, and they failed to garner community support. It’s unimaginable that neighboring McKinney Terrace, home to seniors and disabled residents, and nearby Putnam Green had zero participation in the entire ten-month process. And the Byram Vets TF representative missed 16 meetings and was absent for the final vote, yet it was counted!” – Alex Popp, Byram Continue Reading →

Jansen: Greenwich BOE Calls It a $207M Budget, Taxpayers Actually Pay Over $250M

By: |

“That $45 million gap is neither theoretical nor discretionary. These are actual expenses taxpayers fund every year. None of this information is hidden from required Hartford reporting. Connecticut already requires all its 169 school districts to report comprehensive, standardized education costs annually.” – Lucia D. Jansen Continue Reading →
