My email inbox is full and phone has been ringing all day with sources (on both sides of the political aisle) commenting on the "statements" Mayor Boughton made during his interview on last night's edition of Ideas at Work and Beyond.
There is simply too many things to bring up from his interview with News-Times Online Editor Elizabeth Putnam...I simply do not have the time to go into what was said as I'm dealing with a host of other local issues right now (as well as my campaign to remove Tom Bennett's "BigT's Talk and Variety" off the air). I'm going to hold off on saying anything else until I finish collecting the mountain of information debunking many of the mayor's claims and pick the interview apart later down the road.
Amazing...simply amazing.
This isn't 2005 and HatCityBLOG will do it's part to bring the era of the low-information local voter to a quick and sudden end.
04.25.22 (RADIO): WSHU Latino group call on Connecticut lawmakers to open a Danbury charter school
06.03.22 (OP-ED): KUSHNER: "Career Academy ‘a great deal for Danbury"
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.
Oh man...this is rich!
