Now, it's only Feburary folks and if the past means anything, there is a very good chance that more Democrats will step up to the plate and make their intentions known (remember how many Democrats threw their hats into the race in 2005). In any case, Abrantes is a well-known in the area from her years as City Clerk and member of the Common Council and would make the mayoral race VERY interesting.
Again, I apoligize for not dropping this news on everyone last week. Hopefully, things will get to full speed on this site soon as I'm almost done getting everything organized and preparing to take this site to the next level.
From last weeks DTC meeting, here's video footage of Abrantes' making her announcement.

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.
