Removing existing city commissioners responsible for\/allowing such abuse would be a good start. Commissioner Pannell is running for Mayor but won&#8217;t admit her position on welcoming yet another incinerator into the midst of city residents. \u00a0A candidate committed to protecting the community, residents, environment and air quality rather than acting as a knight errant for Simpson is sorely needed just now. \u00a0Such a candidate must, of course, reside within the city limits.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1646\" style=\"width: 1978px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/pannellcrp.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1646\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1646\" title=\"commissioner Dawn Pannell, candidate for Mayor\" src=\"http:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/pannellcrp.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1968\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/pannellcrp.jpg 1968w, http:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/pannellcrp-300x228.jpg 300w, http:\/\/amicuscuria.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/pannellcrp-1024x780.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1968px) 100vw, 1968px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1646\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">candidate Dawn Pannell evades question on additional incinerators in Shelton<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shelton Police Officer Christopher Kostad is named in a federal civil rights lawsuite (case #:CV05752-RBL) for having kicked Vince Allen in the head while Mr. Allen was handcuffed lying face down on the ground.
