At May's Democratic Town Committee meeting, with Democrats visibly upset with Mayor Boughton and his administration, Council members updated members of the DTC with their continued frustrations with the lack of communication from the Mayor and majority, the complete inaction of the City Clerk Jean Natale, and the number of ad-hoc committees that have not met (remember when I said to take note of the meetings in the earlier video clip from AUGUST of last year).
With this being an election year, you can be sure that these concerns will used to educate the public about the actions of the mayor, Republican leadership, and the City Clerk.

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.
