State Sen. David Cappiello is pushing for tighter standards for mortgage loan officers, including a licensing procedure, education requirements and possible penalties.
Cappiello, R-Danbury, joins a growing list of lawmakers and experts who have called for changes in the mortgage industry in response to a recent subprime mortgage crisis that resulted in home foreclosures.
Okay people, I'm going to show everyone again just how shameless the News-Times is when it comes to REALLY reporting the news.
In fact, give me a while, I want to make this post better than the one I did on Romney.
Dirk, you should be ashamed of yourself...Cappiello reeks of hypocrisy yet you published this fluff piece. AGH!

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.
