The Noise Ordinance Hypocrisy 2.0

There appears to be an abundance of hypocrisy in Greenwich. If you don't follow the recently enacted noise ordinance, there will be consequences. That is, for the average Greenwich resident. 

Aside from the fact that the Board of Selectmen gave the Town a a one year variance on their own equipment and times Town employees may use them, there are others who, despite knowing intimately the contents of the ordinance AND voted for its passage, still has landscaping employees using the gas powered leaf blowers on a property she manages.

A Cos Cob resident driving along Glenville street snapped these Photos this past week on their way to work after reading a previous blog that we posted Read Here .

The property is 36 Glenville Street, The mailing address of the LLC of said property is the same and is C/O Geralyn Rubenstein, an RTM District 9 Member who was re-elected for another term on the legislative body in November of 2023.

In the meantime, this was included in the weekly "Community Connections From Fred,"

"Leaf blower courtesy is needed.....
 
The 'Town Noise Ordinance Summary' are in effect and this is a transition yearn where everyone gets used to them. My office has received repeated calls, though, and we heard directly from one of the landscaping companies at the Board of Selectmen about people being very confrontational with them.

That is not something we are going to tolerate and I urge all residents to show patience and courtesy as everyone adjusts to these new regulations. We are better than that. We are not a Town where people get in people’s faces and yell and scream. The regulations are Greenwich law and must be followed but that is no excuse to harass people.
 
If you want to talk to them and explain the regulations, you can do it with a smile and a friendly tone of voice. I had landscapers on my street using gas-powered blowers and I spoke to them and they were very nice about it. If you approach someone and you’re snarling or trespassing on private property then you are setting yourself up for confrontation."


Perhaps Town elected officials should take a hard look in the mirror because the question we now ask ourselves is, why should any Town resident comply? They're not doing a good job setting the example.

Dear Establishment Republicans, We're Tired of Your "Bipartisanship"

Image
  Screenshot (Public Domain) Bipartisanship, the concept of both political parties working together towards common goals, is often seen as a key component of a functioning democracy. In a state like Connecticut, where the political landscape is largely dominated by Democrats, the idea of bipartisanship only benefits one side of the aisle. This is because bipartisanship tends to work in favor of the party that holds power, which in Connecticut's case, is the Democratic Party. Despite the intentions of bipartisanship to promote compromise and cooperation between parties, it always leads to unequal outcomes and favoritism of the Democrat agenda. One of the main reasons why bipartisanship always works in favor of Connecticut Democrats is the sheer number of Democratic representatives in the state legislature. With Democrats holding a majority in both the state House and Senate, they have more power to push their agenda and initiatives through, even with some bipartisan support. This ...

Trump Debates ABC News Democrat Operatives

Image
  Screenshot (abcnews.com) Millions of Americans and the world tuned in last night to watch the very first and perhaps the only debate between former President Doanld Trump and VP Kamala Harris in Philadelphia. The debate was "moderated" by ABC "journalists" David Muir and Lindsey Davis.  Kamala And ABC Hosts Lie At Debate  Read Before the actual debate started, Trump set the tone by having Harris walk over to his podium to shake his hand. Within the first ten minutes, viewer knew exactly how this debate was going to play out. Trump was debating three people: Harris, Muir and Davis. It was interesting to see but not shocking these so-called moderators were fact checking every word that came out of Trump's mouth. We're pretty sure Trump knew what he was up against last entering the "lion's den." Make no mistake, Muir and Davis are Democrat operatives. Their fact checking follow ups and comments were exaggerations or outright lies. For example, T...

With a Clear Mandate From Millions of Americans, President Trump Elected as 47th President of the United States!

Image
  Screenshot (KTLA 5) I f you were like many Americans yesterday you went out and voted, then kept your eyes on the TV or your device to get the minute-by-minute score on the Trump Vs Kamala scoreboard of states. Like many of you, we debated which every possible path to 270 electoral votes that President Trump has to the ones that Kamala Harris did not. We watched in excitement and nervousness as some states were shaded light red or were too close to call at the time. One thing we knew for sure; we had faith that Trump would make it across the finish line because Trump has a message that resonates with all of us. Millions of Americans likely stayed up into the wee hours of the night as if watching a movie, you just can’t take your eyes off. The type where you’re waiting for the acme, biting your nails with every passing minute, hoping all those voting stations would close already and call the election for Trump. As with most things, our patience eventually paid off as we watched on...
