I guess the veterans aren't the only people pissed off at Mayor Boughton's latest attempt in shameless self-promotion with his idiotic political signs. In case you didn't know, Odiepus Boughton's so-called "People over Politics" signs were placed on the corner of Main and South Street JUST IN TIME FOR THE MEMORIAL DAY PARADE.
Aesthetically obnoxious effluvia is the description for the latest eyesore on Main Street, Danbury.
The taxpayers forked over big bond money for Main Street's beautification. New pavement, center island, sidewalks, lights, Kwanson Cherry trees and Zelcova Elm trees.
April brought the annual clean up in the city. In May, everything is too pristine. Let's place two large outdoor signs in front of the Republican headquarters building.
In the month of May, six months before the election, the Democratic and Independent parties do not place large political election signs outside of Main Street.
Bethel places their political signs outside during the month of September. Ridgefield places their political party signs outside in October, a month before the election. Newtown does not decorate their streets with any outside political signs. The citizens that drive through the city of Danbury every day deserve a better fate. Their view and their nerves could be enhanced if that large politics and people mayoral incumbent election sign was quietly taken down and put back up during the month of October.

In the United States, our democratic election process is designed to produce a city mayor who will set a positive example for the citizens who voted that person into office.
I believe our mayor listens to opinions of the voters, but that remains to be seen.
C. Rodney Dow DANBURY
Well said but I wouldn't hold your breath on the mayor listening to your concerns.

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.
