if you dont feel right having the name on the stadium, when will you be giving the family the money back ? I mean its the right thing to do isn't it, thats what this is all about right.

There have been so many dedicated teachers, staff members and students that have been a part of the New Fairfield community. Perhaps the stadium could be named as a tribute or memorial to one of those people.

I am 100% with you on this one!!!!Everyone knew who Mr. Galante was when they took the $$$$ and this episode wasn't the first time he had a run in with the law.I'm sorry the folks in New Fairfield are nothing but a bunch of TWO FACED BACK STABBING HYPOCRITES !!! And they honestly feel its OK to KEEP THE $$$$ and just remove his name - B>S>!!!GOOD EXAMPLE to their KIDS- so who's worse ?????

YOU NEED TO GIVE ALL MONEY BACK. FAMILY CAN THEN DONATE TO MORE WORTHY ORGANIZATIONS.
CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.

Judged:

Sorry other Galantes BUT the name will ALWAYS be associated with what Jim did. No one will look at the sign and think "oh yeah Roseanne and the kids" NOPE they will think criminal. For the family to think otherwise is denying the fact that 'Dad' is a convicted felon. Galante will never be a clean name again. Galante = criminal. That is the way it is..........Like they say it was never about their name on a scoreboard so they should not have a problem with the name change.

IT WAS NEVER A SECRET THAT JAMES WAS UP TO NO GOOD. MAYBE HE DID A LOT OF BAD THINGS BUT HE DID A LOT OF GOOD THINGS AS WELL. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THEY THOUGHT JAMES WAS AN INNCOCENT MAN WHO NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG... HE WENT TO PRISON A FEW YEARS A GO FOR TAX EVASION. NOBODY HAD A PROBLEM TAKING HIS MONEY THEN... EVEN THOUGH HE WAS STILL A CONVICTED FELON. HE WAS A CONVICTED FELON WHEN THEY ENDORSED THAT CHECK. I WOULD SAY GIVE THE MONEY BACK... BUT JIMMY WOULD NEVER TAKE IT BACK... IN HIS MIND HE DOESN'T CARE WHAT THEY CALL THE STADIUM AS LONG AS THOSE KIDS HAVE A STADIUM HE IS HAPPY. THEY KNEW WHAT HE WAS BEFORE. I FEEL SORRY FOR HIS KIDS.

I continue to be astounded by the arrogance of the "Galante Family" and their constant need for adoration. Many families in NF do not have illegally obtained money to donate to projects, but many have given unselfishly of their time to the NF community as well.
There are also many other children in town that spend their time volunteering. The Galante children do not demonstrate an extraordinary degree of talent that exceeds that of their peers.
Additionally, Rebel Stadium is a most appropriate name, as it identifies the spirit of the school and the student's it represents!

Let's get one thing clear=I'm NOT from New Milford just work there!!!Second if the good citizens of N.F.{those who think it's ok to keep this so called DIRTY money] Should in MY OPINION give the $$$$$ back to those he cheated it from in the first place and start over with a clear slate as to not give the KIDS a mixed message!!Ya know GIVE THE STOLEN GOODS BACK TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNERS MATO!

Unfortunately giving the money back is complicated by the fact that much of what Mr Galante paid for was removed when the Town put in an artificial turf field and a new track a few years back . The only thing left from the original Galante donation is the bleachers .

"First Selectman John Hodge said the situation is unfortunate, given how involved the Galante family has been in New Fairfield. "But having said that, I can understand why the Board of Education did what they did," he added."

Exactly! And did you notice the Galante letter says "this was never about a name on a scoreboard." Um, then why write the letter?? Duh!

Why would anyone expect the EdumicationMafia to return a "gift" from the GarbageMafia? If "Don"Galante had any class he never would have had his name put up there in the first place.
