VOTE NO CHARTER REVISION! SHELTON IS AT RISK!

September 15, 2020

The Mayor is making an outrageous power grab. If this revision succeeds, it could be

up to ten years before Shelton residents get another chance to have their voices heard.

Literally the Mayor is doing away with all financial oversight and assuring that he can

stuff key boards and commissions with his hand-picked surrogates.

Shelton Buses FOIA Fiasco ONGOING

April 3, 2020
In clear violation of Federal laws, Mayor Lauretti and the City Government have stalled
efforts to fill a FOIA request made in November, 2019. His decision to take over school

buses was a failure from the start - no buses for first day, and unverified drivers.

Residents demand "SHOW US THE SAVINGS."

The Shelton DTC's Chair, Dave Gioello, has been pursuing the FOIA on behalf of concerned parents and continues to move the legal process forward during the current crisis.
