* Took a trip to Elmer's Diner and checked out the traffic scene...and noticed some interesting developments.
* Noticed that Main Street is all decked out in American flags and ready for the parade.
* I also noticed that I need to get into shape...this bike ride is killing me!
I'm going to spend part of the weekend cleaning up computer. Seems like once again, my harddrive is full and I really need to stop producing videos and do some archiving.
Heck, you shouldn't be wasting your time reading blogs anyway...GET OUTSIDE and enjoy the weekend. Danbury and it's problems aren't going anywhere and trust me, after the holiday, it's FULL SPEED ahead for HatCityBLOG. Between the parade ordinance, the quest to remove Tom Bennett off cable, the insanity at the BRT tax giveaway ad-hoc committee meeting, and the mayor ONCE AGAIN using his "passing the buck" card with the Elmer's Diner traffic nightmare, we here at this site will be very busy bringing you the news that everyone else seems to overlook.
And don't forget the HatCityBLOG video coverage of this years Memorial Day parade (from start to finish).

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.
