Gas Company Work in Fairfield IS Legit
11:14am–#Fairfield CT–Resident on Melville Avenue called police that a heavy set 6’2″ man came to her door in what appeared to be a gas company uniform asking to check for corroded pipes. The woman refused and called police because she did not call or have prior notification for the inspection, nor did she see any gas company vehicles in the area. Police are on the way. ALWAYS as for identification before letting anyone in your home claiming to work for a utility you did not call for. UPDATE–Officer sent to the scene says there are stickers on many doors from the gas company. Police confirmed with the gas company that they ARE working in the area checking indoor pipes. When in doubt always ask for identification or call the police.
Depressing Day?
A lot of suicide attempts in the area today. We won’t report specifics but a Fairfield man today was rushed to the hospital after intentionally swallowing anti-freeze to end his life. Firefighters in Bridgeport cut down a person who attempted to hang themselves, performed CPR and saved their life. In one town a 13 year old was transported for evaluation for suicidal thoughts and in another town (towns intentionally not posted) another 13 year old intentionally attempted to overdose on her psychiatric medication. There appears to be an increase in psychiatric calls but earlier in November 2012 Governor Malloy cut $80 million to health and human services.
Fairfield Police Contract Going Before RTM
Editorial- The RTM will decide the Fairfield Police Department’s Police Contract on March 18th. The police union has been operating without a contract for over two years. That includes two hurricanes and one blizzard of service without complaint. Two weeks ago 5 officers were sent into a wooded area where a man with a gun a during a standoff. The officers did not hesitate to move in when ordered even after a shot already rang out. Why is Fairfield making them wait for a decent contract? Fairfield has a history of being anti-union, dragging on negotiations with the firefighters union and even the nurses union. If you live in the town of Fairfield, please contact your RTM officials listed below and tell them you support a decent contract for the police. Tell them you are tired of the town’s anti union position: District 1: David M. Becker: 203-424-0024 (phone), [email protected]

Editorial–Is Fairfield Anti-Union?
Editorial–As Fairfield’s Random Act of Kindness program declared by First Selectman Tetreau winds down, I hope our act of kindness is to give the Fairfield Police a half way decent contract. The police in Fairfield have served in TWO hurricanes a blizzard, and were one of the first on scene in Newtown to give support without a contract. I have to ask why is Fairfield anti union? They strung the firefighters out on their contract for a long time, heck even the nurses union. Fairfield has a proven track record of being anti-union, from the First Selectman Tetreau to a lot of members on the RTM. Forget a pay raise, did you know that the Fairfield Police haven’t had a cost of living increase since 2009? Give them a half way decent health care plan, we count on their well being to protect us.
