Shingleton is doing a real good job. If everyone knew the real reasons for the things he's been doing, you would agree with me. He's trying to get this town straightened out - finally!!

Patricia, God bless your heart but you can not be serious. Read the Middletown Press article and Shingleton's quotes about Stevenson.
I think you will find them unprofessional, classless, and disrespectful. No one should be thrown under a bus regardless of the circumstances for the departure.
Shingleton has lost the respect of many residents. Furthermore, many residents find it impossible now to take anything he says seriously.
Whether you support Shingleton or not, you have to realize his ability to lead has been irreparably harmed. He is damaged goods and should do the honorable action of resigning.

Grow up was the comment for you and people like you who cannot disagree without becoming disagreeable.

From the Middletown Press:
If he was somewhat conciliatory with regards to Waters, Shingleton was extremely critical of Stevenson's action - or lack thereof - as coordinator.
He accused Stevenson, who heads the company Connected to Connecticut, of "sloppy work," and of a "lack of focus" on the downtown Main Street revitalization project.
As a consequence, he said, economic development "has taken up a disproportionate amount of my time, due the deficiencies of the previous economic development coordinator."
Patricia, there is no dignity and class in anything Shingleton said here. Character still matters, even today.
A true gentleman would have said thanks to Stevenson for his efforts. Shingleton could have explained the departure as simply wanting to go in a different direction with the position.
What I gather from Shingleton's quotes is that he is a shallow, insecure man desparate to hold on to any credibility his has left. How sad it is to see how low he has sunk.

You are the same people complaining that JS does things for no reason and when he gives some of his reasons, you don't accept that either. You just keep proving that your attacks on JS are nothing but personal.
Matter of fact, I call YOUR character into question with your own quotes of calling Shingleton shallow, insecure and desperate.
Keep making a butt of yourself, I find you funny.

What? How the heck do you classify these as reasons and explanations?!:
'With regard to his request Waters stand down as the liaison, Shingleton, a first-term Democrat said, "I'm sure what the issue is."'
'On Feb. 11, with no warning or explanation, Shingleton allegedly ordered Police Chief Anthony J. Salvatore to obtain Nelson's resignation or, lacking that, to fire him. When the chief refused to do so, Shingleton fired the chief on Feb. 13, setting off a wave of controversy. The chief was ultimately reinstated.- In a Feb. 12 e-mail to Salvatore, Shingleton said, "I have many reasons to make this change." However, he never spelled out what those reasons were.'
"After speaking with the town attorney, he assured me that Mr. Nelson's claims are frivolous and politically motivated," Shingleton said in his statement.
"This is yet another example of the old guard ignoring the people's mandate for change while personally attacking my integrity and credibility," he added. Shingleton also accused an unspecified "they" of "manipulating the media by creating controversy where none exists."
Shingleton also said Nelson's notice of intent was an attempt to distract "the people of Cromwell from the significant progress that we have already accomplished."
The effort to remove the upper echelon of the police department has never been wholly explained. Shingleton has offered a variety of often contradictory statements about his reasons.

We are not the blind ones here, I'm afraid you have need to look in the mirror for that. Ooops, sorry you can't cuz you're blind.
Facts are is that it was a contracted postion which ended, end of story. Contracts end all the time and people come and go. JS stated some of the reasons for letting Stevenson go. He thinks he has a candidate that will do a better job which I completely support. Too bad you don't want better things for Cromwell yourself.

If you're "still sane" then why are you off topic again. This has nothing to do with the PD. And by the way, it wouldn't matter what JS said to you because you'd never agree with anything he says.

Where are the town democrats? You're supposed leader has just been called out by the Republicans.
The Democratic Town Committee's silence is deafening. You need to grow a backbone and either support this tyrant or unite with the Republicans against him.
