As I stated in an earlier post, I'm posing the campaign finance disclosure statements that were filed on July 10th. The second statement we'll examine is the report from the Republican Town Committee.
When I first read this report, I thought I was seeing things...in fact, I'm still in a state of disbelief. As of July 10th, the Danbury Republicans have as a balance on hand a eye-popping 1,188.31 DOLLARS with ZERO contributions collected during the last reporting period (April-July).
ZERO
This is a a HUGE difference when compared to the Democratic Town Committee, which reported over 8,000.00 at the end of the reporting period (DTC report and Abrantes report will be posted soon).
I'll do a follow-up post on this subject and pose some intriguing questions to you readers later but some of you already know where I'm heading with this...
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, YOU GOTTA SEE THIS.
