Friends Again. Scinto and Lauretti Headline Stefanowski Event.

Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti and local developer Robert Scinto are friends again. The two are leading sponsors of an October 14th fundraising event for Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Stefanowski.

Scinto supported Republican David Walker, who was eliminated at the May nominating convention when he failed to win 15% of the delegates on any ballot. Lauretti also missed the 15% requirement and was unable to collect enough signatures to appear on the August primary ballot. The longtime Shelton mayor, also known as Public Official Number One in a document no one ever wants to appear in, pondered a run for governor as a petitioning candidate. Scinto went to prison for six months in 2011 for his part in the Shelton corruption scandal that occurred under Lauretti’s watch.

The event invitation includes legislative leaders and Stefanowski’s four vanquished primary opponents, including one referred to as “David Stemmerman.” Cassetta becomes Casssettta. Are there no proofreaders left in fundraising?
