NORWALK, Conn. It’s ridiculous to take credit for great things going on in Norwalk parks, developments that were years and even decades in the making, and then claim the Recreation and Parks Department was mismanaged before the latest director came in, Mike Mocciae said.
Mocciae, speaking recently to NancyOnNorwalk from his retirement enclave in South Carolina, hotly took aim at comments made by Norwalk Chief of Staff Laoise King when it was announced that his replacement, Recs & Parks Director Nick Roberts, was leaving.

The BOE never ceases to amaze the residents of the city. How disgusting that Mike Barbis a DULY ELECTED MEMBER! As opposed to just hand picked replacement members is not on a committee again!!! So much for the BS unity and all the other garbage about it people like Sarah and BMM speak of. And now Colin we expected better from you. SHAMEFUL! And you set a horrible example!
A couple of questions:
1-What is the rationale for the BoE denying duly elected Board member Mike Barbis committee membership. Chair Hosten said his predecessors covered this but I don’t see that. Seems to me they are denying his district their representation. No problem with rebuking Mr, Barbis if they feel it is warranted but they are refusing his electors their right to representation.
