Charlie Nesbitt is the President of the New York Tax Appeals Tribunal. A native of Albion, Orleans County, New York, Nesbitt was appointed to this position by Gov. George Pataki in late 2005.

A Republican, Nesbitt previously served in the New York State Assembly represented Orleans, Niagara, Genesee, and Monroe Counties. He also served as Minority Leader of the Assembly for three years, during which time the Assembly Republicans lost eight seats.

His appointment to a seven year term on the Tax Appeals Tribunal and designation as Tribunal President was considered to be a reward from Pataki for his loyalty. The appointment was questioned because of Nesbitt's lack of formal training in taxation law and his lack of a college diploma.
