Removal of New Castle officer prompts citywide debate
New Castle City Council unanimously removed Patrolman James J. Paglia after a drunken driving arrest linked to an alleged domestic incident. Charges were dismissed when testimony faltered, yet the council stressed credibility for law enforcers and questioned ethics in local politics amid petition disputes and fundraising pressures. The United Way seeks to meet a 450000 goal as funding squeezes loom. A regional United Ways meeting is slated for Tuesday at The Villa in Shenango Township to discuss program support and budgeting.
