With a few weeks to go until election day, the various Democratic candidates are really getting out and making themselves known to the public. The candidates are also wisely using local access television to make their case to the public.
On Wednesday, Jean Natale's nightmare, Democratic City Clerk candidate Eileen Coladarci and Zoning Commission Democratic candidate Anthony DiCaprio made an appearance on the local access show Community Forum. Making their case for why they well they be elected, Coladarci and DiCaprio offered their views on issues facing Danbury.
Take CLOSE note of DiCaprio's comment regarding taking a close look at petitions that are presented towards the zoning commission and political pressure that was placed on the commission to "rush" things such as changing zones (i.e. threat of the casino), which created a bigger nightmare, a loss of prime industrial land for industries, for and a gold mine for developers.

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.
