Submitted by Harry Fisher, Republican BET member and chair, running for re-election
I am blessed in many ways. My grandparents chose Greenwich over Westchester in 1908 to raise a family, recognizing advantages even back then. I grew up in a family that preached and practiced volunteering. I began that in my early teen years at schools I attended and continued in the 1980s and 90s on the RTM and BET, I was fortunate to be asked to rejoin the BET in 2021.
I am proud of what I and the Republican team have accomplished. In the last two years we have successfully kept increases in taxes moderate, while maintaining service levels and our excellent schools. We have managed succession in the Finance Department of two senior employees, the Budget Director and the Comptroller (CFO) with a combined fifty years of service to the town. Our new employees in those positions are superb.
I have a depth of experience that I bring to the position I hold on the BET and ask for your vote for our entire Republican team, who have similar depth and diversity of experience. We are a team that will better serve the town in the future than one dominated by democrats, who also dominate the state government that imposes itself on our finances and freedoms. While we have the lowest mill rate in the state, we also pay the most in taxes. Taxpayer dollars are a scarce resource and must be regarded as such.
I look forward to serving all residents of Greenwich with our new team of Republicans for the BET, and ask for your vote for the entire Republican team on Row B of the ballot.
Early voting at Town Hall has started, and regular voting is Tuesday November 4th at your regular polling places.
Thank you
Harry Fisher
