The Republic of Greenwich (CT)

The continuing saga of alleged discrimination in the Greenwich beach bias case faced another obsticle when town officials failed to turn over the investigator's report. Town officials claim the the report does not exist because the complaintants never filed an official complaint and as such the matter was resolved informally.

The state Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities are negotiating with Greenwich to settle the matter. The proposed settlement would require Affirmative Action Officier Houston and the employees of the Human Resources and Parks department to attend a 10 hour anti-discimination training class in June and a yearly 5 hour class.

It seems that Greenwich and the complaintants are not happy with proposed settlement. "Giving a minority woman 10 hours of anti-discrimination training is an insult" according to complaintant Rothman.

The irony is Houston, the wife of Greenwich's NAACP President, exposed her racist views about whites, when she proclaimed Greenwich racist against blacks and hispanics.
