Greenwich Republican Leadership: MIA

Image
  Greenwich Board of Education  As you may be aware, Greenwich Democrats appointed a fake republican, Jennifer Behette, to the Board of Education in a last-minute coup.  The Democrats did this knowing Ms. Behette would vote with the Democrats for every dime they want to spend. But if you thought that was brazen, there’s much more.  More recently Democrats out maneuvered the “Republicans” giving over $50 million dollars to their union friends. To make matters worse, this teacher’s union contract was negotiated so poorly that it cannot be contested by the Town Legislature, the “RTM,” because the Board of Education never submitted any counter proposals at all! Once the Democrats took over the Board of Education with their  Coup  you might imagine that the Republicans would vote “no” on everything after the Coup, as a form of protest, even if they agreed with the item at hand.  Nothing of the sort. As a result, the Democrat Coup is successful even though i...

Greenwich Needs Sensible Republican BET Members

Image
  Greenwich, Connecticut is a great place to live, work and raise your children. For many of us who have lived in Town for any length of time, we know Greenwich is like no other place offering great amenities such as parks and beaches, good schools and vast resources. One advantage Greenwich has over other cities and towns in the state is we have one of the lowest, if not the lowest mill rate. Keeping out taxes low is a huge reason why Greenwich continues to be a desired location. While we as residents and taxpayers need to fund many of these services, we also do not want our Board of Estimate and Taxation (BET) to raise taxes and the mill rate because a certain segment of the population says so.  Democrats want to spend more of your money, especially for the Board of Education (BOE), which is about half of the Town overall budget. While student enrollment declines throughout the state, including Greenwich, the BOE wanted a 4-million-dollar increase from last year's budget. We...

MacGillivray: The Soul Of Greenwich Is Ours To Save

Image
  Beth MacGillivray By Beth MacGillivray, former Chair of the Greenwich Republican Town Committee When I stepped down as Chair of our Republican Party, we had restored Republican strength in Greenwich - raising over an outstanding $300,000, winning hard-fought elections with record voter turnout, energizing our base with eager volunteers mobilizing all across town. That teamwork and unity defined us as Greenwich Republicans. Building on that momentum, we launched a dynamic new website, grew our social media presence exponentially, and earned national recognition from other Republican organizations eager to learn and repeat our success. Our rebranding and outreach resonated far beyond town lines, and it worked because we worked together. Today that hard-earned progress is under threat. A small group of power-seekers has re-emerged, dividing our party, blocking new ideas, and fostering an atmosphere of disrespect and condescension. This is not just unpleasant- it’s dangerous- because...
