Clinton Town Council Elects Teskey Chairman By Eric O'Connell Staff Writer
At the first meeting of the new Clinton Town Council, members unanimously voted to elected Democrat Hank Teskey as the new chairman for at least the next two years. Nov. 19 marked the first meeting for the current version of the Town Council follow-
ing the 2025 municipal election. For the next two years the council will consist of a 4-3 Democratic majority with Democrats Teskey, Carrie Allen, Chris Passante, and Brian Roccapriore, as well as Republicans Chris Aniskovich, Dennis Donovan, and Jerry Dunn serving on the council. As a first order of business, the new council needed to elect a chairman and a vice chair.
Though the council had been chaired by Allen for the last two years, a motion was made to instead elect Teskey as chairman. The motion was approved unanimously. A follow-up motion to name Allen as the vice chair was also approved unanimously. While Town Manager Michelle Benivegna See Clinton Town Council page 6
