State Senator Bergstein Has Rules of Deportment for Speaking to Her.

State Senator Alexandra Bergstein does not want a freewheeling exchange of opinions at her community forums. The wealthy Greenwich Democrat has rules of deportment. At least seven of them, including banning signs. Signs? They are just not done in her tony precincts.

Bergstein, who invested hundreds of thousands of her own dollars to defeat Republican incumbent Scott Frantz last fall, may be wary of spontaneity. My source: Bergstein’s rattled response to a question at the end of a radio debate late in the campaign that pierced the polite atmosphere.
