Damn, I didn't even get a chance to post the video from the last Zoning Commission meeting. I guess Berkley Holdings Corp thought twice about this silly idea...smart move.

To Whom It May Concern:
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE FOLLOWING PETITION HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN AND IS NO LONGER BEING CONSIDERED BY THE ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANBURY:
Petition of Berkley Holdings Corp. to Amend Section 4.H.2.b.(3)(g) of the Zoning Regulations. (Permit Heliports in PND Zone).
Jack H. Knapp, Jr. Chairman
This was a stupid idea from the start and ONCE again a victory for the citizens of Danbury who stood up and said ENOUGH is ENOUGH.
The fact that certain memebers of City Hall thought that this proposal was a good idea will not be forgotten by the people who voiced their outrage over this idiotic proposal.

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.
