Our most-read story of 2013 was posted July 3 after NancyOnNorwalk received a tip about an altercation involving members of the Democratic Town Committee. The story, along with a contributed photo, not only grabbed the attention of Norwalkers, but went nationwide when it was picked up by Wonkette.com.
The incident erupted when a verbal dispute between Democratic Town Committee Chairwoman Amanda Brown and Regina Krummel, who wanted to be put on the ballot as a Board of Education candidate. Somehow, Krummel wound up on the ground, and her octogenarian husband, Bill, the DTC’s District E chairman, confronted Brown, slapping her face. Brown then punched Krummel, cutting his eye.
Calls came fast and furious for Brown’s resignation and arrest. Others rushed to her defense and pointed out the Krummel hit her first. But accounts by the participants differed, and no one witnessed the entire incident. The Krummels and Brown all declined to press charges, and there was a public reconciliation.
