One of the members of the Board of Selectment in Greenwich, CT was arrested for shoplifting at a malls. He allegedly took about $600 worth of items at two stores in an outlet mall in Clinton, CT. Drew Marzullo has been the lone Democrat on the Board of Selectmen for the last eight years. He is a candidate for re-election in November. No plea has yet been entered in the case, and Marzullo was released on bail.
This mess is unlikely to change the election results in November. Republican Peter Tesei, the First Selectman (equivalent to a mayor) is likely to re-elected once again. Still, for those Democrats hoping for an upset in the traditionally Republican town in the age of Trump, news of the arrest must come as a major disaster. I doubt if the voters in Greenwich will want to re-elect a selectman who is facing a trial for this crime, and that will most likely bring the entire Democrat ticket down.
The leadership in Greenwich is certainly not all that important for the nation. Still, since each of the last three Republican presidents had strong ties to the town, it's worth noting.
