As mayor, I will never comment on an ongoing investigation. Mayor Brewster, as is his right, chose to do otherwise. Please give your honest opinion of his comments that called for me to step down from council (though falsely accused and not guilty of anything) and to seek help (though he has ZERO more knowledge of my health than you do).

A psychiatrist at the county judged me competent. Took him all of 10 minutes and was part of standard operating procedure in the case of the allegations aainst me. Is the Mayor a Doctor? have a magic ball? Know more than the doctors and i do?

Where did that come from?

Certainly wasn't appropriate or appreciated in my mind.

Is he trying to get sued on your (the taxpayer's) dime?

It's simple. He's trying to drum up public support to get you off council before the end of the year. Then they can have a kangaroo court hearing and say, "we were only doing what the voters wanted us to do."

Trying to get sued!?! They're long past that point.

i think there should be an investigation as to what really happened. yeah,( america- guilty until proven innocent) thats the USAs motto. i think and believe paul was falseley accused. i do not think he should step down. i think there should be an investigation. a thorough one. thanks lois tucker

i think there should be a thorough investigation.( innocent until proven guilty) thats the USAs motto. i think he should not step down. i believe he is innocent. i think there was some mix up or something. could not have happened. there should be a thorogh investigation. is the man who owned the cleaners on drugs for depression? bipolar??? his credibility should be examined. thanks lois tucker

Paul as others have said, drop all talk about the incident. You've explained yourself as anyone
should. The ones here who believe it was a set-up
need no more info, and the others that are against you already had their minds made up for them. Like boxing or playing chess, don't telegraph your next move or give them any more ammo. They're not that smart , just full of that false sense of security. Write things down, keep a log with names, dates & times & give info on any questionable political activities you can remember & give it to someone in authority outside of McKeesport or Pittsburgh. Don't hold back , they're not.

Paul call on that investigation from the DA and be very direct. Now is not the time to suppose a policeman that presses your face into the ground is your friend! Does he visit your house, invite you to his, walk your dog and talk to you as a friend? Maybe a friend will talk your ear off and someone pretending stick only to facts. I wanted you to have a clearer means of understanding who is on your side, truthfully.

There are times I certainly will not beat around the bush spending overly much time to pose a yard when a heart may be unclean. You have the support where you least expect it, do not overly convince yourself you have friends where they are not. Some of the smartest people are on old computers.(Max Planck)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Planck

Whomever says, "hello" or waves is sometimes the best neighbor regardless of color or nationality.

The investigation should be at the DA level, not cyber computer level. Investigate the officials directly, because opinion and freedom of speech may include some that will give rise to Freedom Of Speech issues, rather than the intention of findings of a more-than-corrupt city, Mckeesport.

Good advice. My lips are sealed.

Thank you for your support Lois. You raise a good question that will play itself out as time goes on.

The mayor loves getting the city sued, here is another fine example:
He refused to comment about the police overtime and taxpayers loss of money, but was quick to make decision about Paulwith lack of information thereof. This is evidence of variegated, various different treatment for different personal. Where was the defense of no comment or rash fast decision in the instance?

Sign of a political motivation by difference of action in instances of wrongdoing.

"Police did not immediately comment on the settlement. But they had argued that they had probable cause for the search and were in the Mars' apartment for a minimal amount of time."
http://www.law.com/jsp/pa/PubArticlePA.jsp...

Plenty more suits for evidence, and references of fact to be based upon. I probably know more about the situations that anyone else, having paid close attention to details, fact, and other means known only to certain studies of people.

If someone had stepped on your foot for a minimal amount of time, or stolen money held onto, but given to someone else for a minimal amount of time with an excuse, it would be acceptable then by Mckeesport standards?(The bar has been lowered for officials, not raised, or no bar at all - perhaps the best logical dissemination.

Paul is innocent, and Eddie has charges pleaded guilty. Among them, but are not limited to: Food stamp fraud, simple assault, intention to use and distribute drugs, having drug paraphenilia, and possesion of drugs. Enjoy and have a wonderful day in Mckeesport. Peace and God Bless you all.

Would someone please explain to me how they could consider Brewster's comments appropriate?????

As I hear more and more about the dry cleaner, he sounds less and less credible.

It was ill timing for Brewster to take a political shot at Shelly. If he's found guilty, then maybe. Even then, it would be in sore taste.

Not only is Brewster a sore loser (remember Write-In Campaign?) he appears to be a sore winner too.

Shelly -

Looks like the people by 60% to 40% believe the Mayor's statements were at least inappropriate. Be cool. Stay Positive. People aren't stupid. They can smell a rat.

It is a damn shame you had to spend three days apart from your family. Did I hear that you missed your Son's B-Day? That Sucks! How much income did it cost you? What was your bail? What is your attorney charging? I'm sure you'll get all of that back and more in a civil case or cases.

The one thing I keep hearing is "How was he arrested without evidence? On hearsay?

Is that normal or legal? Seems like you were guilty before proven innocent.

Seems as if you have a case against the police as well.

Why didn't they just take you to Riazzi? I'm sure Gene would have thrown this out and saved you and the taxpayers time and money.

You were the hot topic after church Sunday. We have seen it before with other Mayor candidates. Sokol, Weimer, Donato... everyone who opposes those in power is called crazy or a criminal. I give you credit for keeping your cool. A lesser man wouldn't.

Those candidates didn't have a blog or your energy and passion for McKeesport.

How many hits a day are you getting now to www.paulshelly.com ? I've been watching the numbers and it looks like more than 100 or so a day. It seems that your opponents have unwittingly made you famous!

There are many of us out here who are watching. You have gained points as a result of the ordeal you and your family were subjected to.

Obama proved old school gutter politics don't work. You can win be staying positve. That is what the voters want and need from our new leaders.

One question I have for you is if you would support term limits for the office of Mayor? Our forefathers, who were bright men, led by God, thought so. Do you?

Just hang tough and the truth will set us free.

Bennie,

Wow. That is awesome news. I'm hearing those things myself but as a politician, you never know when folks are just telling you what you want to hear.

I hadn't thought about a suit against the police. I don't know what is normal protocal in such a case. I'll consult an attorney on that. Suit against Ed, once I am cleared, is highly likely. He has cost me time, money and reputation. I do have a family to consider. For instance, lets say his allegations cost me the job of Mayor. That is at least $60K a year for four years. We are talking serious bucks my friend!

The blog is off the charts, you are exactly right! Since Wednesday we are averaging >100 hits a day and that includes the weekend when traffic is usually slower (People aren't at work killing time.)

last Wednesday, we had >150 hits! THose are bigger numbers than we put up for the Primary or the Obama/Clinton aftermath. I thank all the folks, friend and foe, for visiting. I'' try to be worthy of your patronage.

To answer your question, YES! i do believe in term limits for Mayor. I'm not sure it was our forefathers wrote that down, Washington just chose to serve two terms as he felt we didn't need another King. I believe it was an act of Congress after FDR that added the term limits to the books. Any Constituional Scholars out there to clear that up?

I'd suggest term limits now but people would just think I was tring to get rid of JB by use of law rather than votes. i am not.

I do believe that anyone can burn out in an office and that we constantly need new blood and indeas injected into the process.

I will go on record here for the first time as stating that if elected mayor, i would ask for a referendum so that the people of Mckeesport could decide if two terms are enough for ANY Mayor, myself included.

Thanks again for the info and your insights. I'm gald to see good folks are stepping up and speaking out! maybe we just started to turn a corner in Mckeesport.

Let's all hope and pray that we have.

Paul does a case against the police. Their defense will be, "we were only doing what we were told to do." Sounds like the old Communist days are alive and well in McKeesport. Problems? Round up the usual suspects (troublemakers)...

And please don't give me that, "oh, there's only a few bad apples on the force" $hit. How can ANY upstanding cop sleep at night knowing this crap goes on? If an honest cop does nothing to stop this, he or she is just as guilty as those you participate. You cannot be honest on the force with this type of "policy". You're either part of the problem or you quit the force a long time ago.

The next SOB that does something unfair to me will be getting a lawsuit for sure as I plan on hitting the LOTTO so I guess I can sue him for that. What a fucking rediculous statement Paul that his comments will hurt your chances for Mayor. Go look in the friggin mirror and theres where you need to start pointing the finger. I smell a rat to.....

Sluggo you don't need to be mayor to put a referendum out for vote.you need the question the signatures and the ok from the election board for it to be placed to the voters.Remember this you not the first to try this a few years back a sitting councilman wanted to try to have this done and have council elected by districts,which means that the wards would have to be combined and the number of councilman would be reduced.This is the guy that should be "mayor"

Perhaps some changes are in order for McKeesport.
We have gone from a vibrant, working town of over
55,000 people to the present sh!thole of a welfare, HUD run city with what, about 24,000 .
And how many of those left pay wage, property &
school taxes to the city ? We've gotten to the point here where even our politicians have become
parasites to the gov't. agencies & their money.
Just like the federal Gov't., feed the minorities
& continue the welfare support for they are the
voter base, we need the votes to retain power, so
therefore we must keep them happy. Welcome to the socialist state of McKeesport, thanks a lot Lou.

Play the lotto. You have a better chance of winning that than understanding just how pissed folks are that i was arrested and jailed on hearsay. Talk to a few outside of the inner circle. You'll see what i mean.

The funny thing is how you are upset about him commenting on your siyuation but you talk shit on him all day everyday on topix at least he comes out in public and says it.Everytime you have the chance to be critical of him at council you "bitch" up. Maybe its just your true colors!
