Divide and Conquer: Doxxing Officially Becomes a New Tactic in Greenwich

First Selectman Fred Camillo (R) has gone through with his threat to begin "doxxing" individuals who FOIA the Town. 

The Right of the People to FOIA Should Not Be Infringed Read

We strongly believe that elected and appointed officials, departments, committees, commissions, etc. mut be accountable and transparent to the residents of Greenwich. Making the names public serves no other purpose than a scare tactic. Camillo continues his campaign of divisiveness rather than unity. This is the very same First Selectman who, with unintentional consequences, has Greenwich neighbors informing on each other regarding the Summer ban on gas powered leaf blowers. Once you come to this realization, the M.O. becomes obvious: throw the information out there and let the residents have at it with each other. Camillo keeps his hands clean and everyone else becomes the hunter or hunted. Privacy no longer matters and gives others the opportunity for more harassment. Is this the Greenwich we want to live in and be proud of?

Greenwich Started To Dox People Who Make FOI Requests, Spreadsheet Now Posted On Town Website Read

The Freedom of Information Act and its state and local variations should not be punitive to those individuals seeking information. What does Camillo hope to really hope to accomplish? Is he attempting to hide information or at the very least make it more difficult to obtain? His excuses that FOIA requests have become abusive is pure nonsense. Keep in mind, individuals who seek to FOIA must pay a nominal fee. It's hard to imagine that paying for information would become abusive in nature. Perhaps this would serve as a deterrent in keeping our local government accountable? Is this some form of political retribution? The more we think about this, the more we truly believe our local officials would rather information never see see the light of day. 


Greenwich First Selectman Aims To Dox People Who File Freedom Of Information Requests In His Town In A Dramatic Move Against Transparency Read

We strongly urge the First Selectman to reconsider and rescind this ridiculous and punitive action against tax paying individuals who wish to know what their government is up to. Stop the divisiveness among resident and defend the right to free speech and accountability.

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...

Current Greenwich RTC Disguised as Republicans

Image
  Screenshot (Public Domain)    With a major election on the horizon, it's still surprising that establishment Republicans in Greenwich and across the state have not figured out that the walls are closing in on them. Actually, it should not really be a surprise. After all, their only interest is keeping the status quo. In other words, keep vesting them with power and they will do what they do best: "bipartisanship." When they're not doing that, they do much of nothing else except whine and complain about how Democrats legislate absurdity, which establishment Republicans allow to happen.  Unfortunately, what they don't see (or do not want to see) is the huge advantage they have with former President Trump at the top of the Republican ticket. Almost every poll out there shows Trump leading. His America First policies are generating a lot of support for him, even from some Democrats, who see the alternative as destructive. While establishment Republicans do their ver...

Why Greenwich Republicans Will Have a Primary on September 9th

Image
    David Alfano, Nisha Arora, Lucia Jansen, Alessandra Brus, Philip Dodson, John Hopley The following letter was submitted by Republicans David  Alfano, Nisha Arora, Lucia Jansen, Alessandra Brus, Philip Dodson and John Hopley. They are running as a slate in the September 9, 2025, Primary. To GVAT Editors: On September 9, Greenwich Republicans will choose the candidates who will represent our party on the Board of Estimate and Taxation (BET)—the body that manages over $600 million of taxpayer money. This primary is not just about who sits on the BET; it’s about whether our town’s finances will be guided by independent oversight or controlled by a small group of insiders who’ve held power for decades. This Republican Primary is Between Entrenched Insiders and Independent Thinkers. The primary exists because BET Chair Harry Fisher—after more than 40 years in town government—has built a slate of loyalists with one goal: to replace the endorsed Republican incumbents with ins...
