Shea taking a new path

Sat., June 6, 2020

The headline regarding Rep. Matt Shea (“Rep. Shea will transition to role as pastor,” June 1) was correct. The first paragraph of the article was incorrect.

Shea did not fail to file for the state Legislature. He chose to take another step on his path of life. That’s not failure. At the same time, Shea has not been charged, tried or convicted of acts of “domestic terrorism.”
