Letter: Time ripe for change in city leadership March 16, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail To the Editor: Denial, not the river in Egypt, but the refusal to acknowledge the truth, appears to be the permanent operating mode of the current administration and many of the long time members of the Shelton Board of Alderman (BOA). Shelton residents deserve transparency and honesty in order to tackle the multiple problems facing the city. From the school bus situation, to city finances, to the debacle at the Shelton Police Department, this administration can’t be straight with the people of Shelton. Buses are late, canceled or not showing up to bus stops properly leaving parents in a daily nerve-wracking situation. While no bus service is perfect, the amount of ongoing problems with the mayor’s bus service is well beyond the challenges in other communities and a point of embarrassment for this community. For the mayor and his shill BOA members to deny a problem exists and to chastise those exposing the problems is evidence of people who have been in their elected capacity too long. When ego becomes more important than our families, we are in trouble.
