The city-run bus company has successfully delivered the city’s students and saved millions of dollars in the process, Mayor Mark Lauretti said in response to critics of Shelton Student Transportation Services.
Lauretti, at the Board of Aldermen meeting late last week, said he felt it necessary to respond to recent Facebook posts and letters to the editor, including those from Alderman David Gidwani, an outspoken critic of the mayor.
He was referring to claims that under his leadership busing has failed, storefronts remain vacant and there has been chronic underfunding of the school system.
