In his article, Steven Hall expresses deep concerns about the current political and social climate both locally in Greenwich and nationally. As a long-term resident, property and business owner with a diverse background—including a degree in architecture from Princeton and military service as a Navy pilot—he brings extensive experience in project management and energy systems.
Hall critiques the local Board of Estimation and Taxation (BET) for ignoring scientific recommendations in energy conservation and for fiscal mismanagement, which he claims has cost the town significantly. He highlights the recent dismissal of a student’s climate action report by BET leadership as indicative of a broader “anti-science” stance.
He also voices alarm over national political issues, mentioning the pardoning of convicted January 6 felons by elected officials who, in his view, fail to uphold the Constitution. Hall argues that the current political environment transcends traditional party lines, framing the election as a struggle between “the tyranny of dictatorship or democracy.”
In conclusion, he calls for a rejection of local candidates affiliated with the party he accuses of complicity in national problems, emphasizing the need for accountability and action in Greenwich to address these pressing issues.
