Outgoing BET Members Honored By Town Of Greenwich

GREENWICH, CT — Several outgoing Board of Estimate and Taxation members were recently honored for their years of service to the town.

First Selectman Fred Camillo issued proclamations to six members who have now departed the board following this year's final meeting on Dec. 15: David Alfano, Nisha Arora, Karen Fassuliotis, Lucia Jansen, Scott Kalb, and Leslie Moriarty.

"I want to thank all of you for all the work that you do. I say this every year, but it's a thankless job at times, and even sometimes if we don't agree, your job is one of the toughest ones in the town. Just know that most people in town, the overwhelming majority, do appreciate all that you do," Camillo told the board.

In 2026, the BET will have a new look and a new chair. Democrats won control of the powerful finance board with the most votes during the Nov. 4 election.

The new board will feature Democrats Elliot Alcheck, Matt DesChamps, Laura Erickson, Stephen Selbst and David Weisbrod.

Republican members will include Sally Eddy Bednar, Joshua Brown, Harry Fisher, Joe Kelly, Joe Pellegrino and Leslie Tarkington.
