                      RECOGNIZING JEFFREY S. RAMER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JAMES A. HIMES

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 17, 2024

  Mr. HIMES. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Jeffrey S. Ramer for his 
contributions to the Town of Greenwich and service on the Board of 
Estimate and Taxation (BET).
  Jeff has been a trusted member of the Greenwich community for over 50 
years. As a Board Member, Jeff spent countless volunteer hours on 
behalf of the Town of Greenwich. He served for 16 years on the BET, 
including 10 years on the Budget Committee as well as time on the Audit 
Committee, Law Committee and Policies & Procedures Committee.
  Jeff's work on behalf of Greenwich included bringing the original 
federal court action to shut down the Cos Cob Power Plant. These 
efforts ultimately led to the Town's purchase of the property and the 
creation of Cos Cob Park that provides access to recreation and 
entertainment for all in the community.
  Jeff has served as a distinguished public servant and member of the 
community. Outside of Town government, Jeff served on the Board of 
Directors of the Greenwich United Way twice over the course of 30 years 
and was a trustee of Greenwich Library, president of the Riverside 
Association, a PTA president twice and served on committees at First 
Congregational Church.
  As Congressman for Connecticut's Fourth District, I have had the 
pleasure of working with Jeff and have seen firsthand how he has served 
as a leader and advocate for the people of Greenwich. As Jeff moves on 
from the BET, I thank him for all that he has done to improve our 
community for generations to come.
