This weekend, I'll be providing highlights from last night's Democratic convention. Since the News-Times could afford to send a reporter to either of the political party's big event, you can tune into HatCityBLOG for watch all the speeches from the nominees.
First up to bat, the nomination of Lori Kaback for Town Clerk.
Next, the nomination of the person who will finally give City Clerk Jean Natale her long overdue pink slip, Eileen Coladarci.
For the position of Treasurer, the Democrats nominated former assistant state attorney, former member of the Board of Education and Democratic Town Committee, Brain Cotter.

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.
