  1. Thank you, Christine! We so enjoy your articles wherein the "pictures tell the story."

    The citizens were once again given every opportunity to speak and the Commissioners were friendly and courteous to each one. Erik Soper did a Fantastic presentation -- with Comm. Pannell referencing "Mr. Soper" several times in her position summation.

  2. The City of Shelton's fight to rezone the Hall Equities property started long before citizens came to their support. Of course, the battle is not over till the Growth Management Board reconsiders their past ruling. But no matter how this issue plays out, the City did the right thing for the right reasons, and for that they are deserving of our respect. Next up is the Simpson/Solomon biomass incinerator, and I would hope the City will fight for community health as tenaciously as they did for the rezone.
