Embattled head of former Dalio partnership plans to sue Connecticut

Connecticut’s education partnership with hedge fund billionaire Ray Dalio has been over for months, but state officials will apparently remain entangled in a legal mess for some time to come.

The former CEO of the disbanded Partnership for Connecticut recently notified Gov. Ned Lamont and four top legislative leaders, that she intends to sue for breach of contract and character defamation that was based on a “flotilla of lies.”

Mary Anne Schmitt Carey, of Greenwich, also sent written notice to Dalio’s wife, Barbara, other partnership members, and also to her former employer, Say Yes to Education. She charged that employees and benefactors of the nonprofit, which focuses on improving inner city education, conspired with the partnership to smear her reputation.

“The concerted effort to run her out of The Partnership based on a flotilla of lies has damaged Ms. Carey-Schmitt’s reputation,” her counsel, Manhattan attorney Aaron M. Zeisler, wrote in a Sept. 4 letter obtained by the CT Mirror. “Put simply, the ramifications of your wrongdoing along with that of Say Yes and The Partnership will hang over Ms. Schmitt-Carey like a cloud for the many years left in her career.”
