The Danbury News-Times has a great write-up on Joe Taborsak's swearing in as the new State Rep for the 109th. Although the entire article is worth a read, here are some highlights.
Newly elected Joe Taborsak, state representative for the 109th District, who now holds the same seat his mother, Lynn Taborsak, once held, says when he used to come to the state Capitol with his mother he always felt like a "kid in the candy store."
So being sworn in for the same seat Wednesday was exciting, the 31-year-old Danbury resident said.
"What we campaigned so hard for was the opportunity to come up here and do the people's work," Joe Taborsak, a Democrat, said. "I'm taking it in and enjoying it."

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.
