To my delight, Mayors John DeStefano and Dan Malloy had an interesting debate on WTIC's Beyond the Headlines Sunday morning (which is by far, the best political program in Connecticut).
The two Democratic Gubernatorial candidates answered a wide range of questions from host Shelly Sindland and The Hartford Courant Capital Reporter, Chris Keating which were informative and useful for those who are still unsure about their primary choice. The two mayors even answered questions that were submitted from voters which I thought was a rather refreshing change from the usual questions from the political pundits.
If you're like me, your probably undecided when it comes to picking which one of these two guys should challenge Jodi Rell for the top spot in the state. In that case, this program might be informative and in case you missed it, here are some highlights from Sunday's program.

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.
