Wife of NAACP President to undergo sensitivity training

HARTFORD, Conn. --The state's human rights agency has proposed sensitivity training as part of a settlement of bias complaints against Greenwich town employees. The state Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities made the settlement offer to the town earlier this week. The CHRO proposal is in response to a complaint involving the wives of former New York Mets Bobby Bonilla and George Foster at a Greenwich beach in June.

Under the proposed settlement, Greenwich Affirmative Action Officer Kelly Houston and other employees in the town's Human Resources and Parks departments would be required to attend anti-discrimination training classes."It's something they ought to be able to live with," R. Hamisi Ingram, the state agency's executive director, said Wednesday. First Selectman Jim Lash said that town attorneys were reviewing the settlement offer.
