Great job by Cromwell PD. Maybe Shingleton will try to fire them for doing there job like the Chief and the Captain in February during the homicide.

Shingleton is to busy helping the Republicans win the election. He's a joke. He is accountable to no one according to his statements. What a loser!

I for one supported Shingleton. Not anymore. He is a liar. He cost the town $30,000 in legal fees with the cheif debacle. No one has taken him to task for that. He has lost a lot of support here in town. That park is a cesspool of corruption down near the river.

I work in town hall and Shingleton is never at work. We laugh everyday cause he said he was going to work hard to bring people together.He should start by buying an alarm clock and getting to work on time.Try calling his office at 830 and see for yourself.

I agree the police keep doing their job and no has has held shingleton accountable for what he tryed to do to the Chief and Captain.
Great job CPD, thank you for what you do for us.

Job well done by the front line officers! Why are others bringing up the issue with the Chief and Shingleton here? It's another cheap opportunity to vent they're squirmy frustrations. Positive progress is happening in this town and it has nothing to do with the Chief. Or maybe it does, now that the Chief has thrown out his bully hat.

Notice they always blame the cheif. Must be a Shingleton supporter who realizes what a mistake they made. Hey hyprocrite the only progress being made in town is when Shingleton resigns. Just admit he is a complete disappointment. The republicans don't even want him along with the Dems. He lost four jobs in five years before conning his way to public office. Tell him to show up to work.

A mere $5 donation couldn't really be construed as "helping the Republicans". That said, I'm afraid Jeremy is confusing the political scene. I think he's sending a message--what it is, and its meaning, I can't figure out.
Can anyone out there offer up a sincere rationale?
I also think his remark that he is "not beholden to anyone" was very hurtful to the many Town residents who worked very hard to get him elected in the first place. I,for one, am confused and hurt that he said that [And no, I'm no shrinking violet!]
Jeremy, you touted transparency and accountability in your campaign.
Clearly, you have some explaining to do here. In the meantime your credibility suffers more and more each day you remain silent on this matter

Daily Horoscope for November 30

Aquarius

You may feel mildly agitated as the sensitive Moon clashes with your life-ruler. Personal difficulties with family members or necessary home repairs may disrupt your day. Deal directly with problems no matter how much you would rather procrastinate. What you avoid today is likely to escalate into a much bigger problem for you to solve tomorrow.
