Promises to hold the line on taxes while maintaining the town's infrastructure and educational system, were the campaign themes voiced by the Republican incumbent selectmen as the party opened its election headquarters Tuesday evening on Greenwich Avenue.
First Selectman Peter Tesei, who is seeking a third term as the town's chief elected official, told the crowd of about 100 supporters, "this is not a government of me but a government of we. We are not depending upon someone else to get the job done." Both he and his running mate, one-term incumbent Dave Theis, said they plan to keep the town "on track" with continued investments in the town infrastructure, public safety and support of the Greenwich educational system. (Please see video.)
Tesei called his Democractic challenger, RTM member John Blankley, a "novice who reads the newspaper in the morning to see what issue" he can criticize. "They don't have any real issues ... they're already on record as supporting what we are doing," Tesei said to applause......
