Asbestos found in 5th floor science wing of DHS. Area has been blocked off and all health agencies have been notified. No school tomorrow so it will be taken care of and retested for safety.
A worker drilled through an asbestos desktop Wednesday at Danbury High School, releasing enough toxic material to close the room. The city had the room and the immediate area tested for asbestos Wednesday, and the room must be cleaned, said Jack Kozuchowski, director of environmental and occupational health for the Danbury Health Department. Right now the room is closed. Kozuchowski said the worker was scheduled for training in asbestos issues within the first 60 days of starting his job, but he hadn’t yet received the training. "He hasn’t been on the job 60 days," Kozuchowski said.
I'm sure the parents feel comfortable knowing that this worker (who hasn't been trained in handling asbestos issues) is drilling around asbestos.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
Just received this heads-up from a source.
