About 100 residents from the 4th Ward listen as the Transfer Station proposal is presented to the Planning Commission Common Council Chambers, City Hall 12.19.07. Photo by Ctblogger.
From last night, here's video footage of the public hearing into the Transfer Station proposal for Plumtrees Rd.
I'll re-write this post with a complete write-up on last meeting once I have all the videos posted.
NOTE: Due to the length of the video footage, I'm still in the process of uploading the files to the server. Since the presentation by Joe Putnam's team was extremely long, which prompted many in attendance to leave, the first series of videos posted will be of the public opposition to the proposal.
This is a post in progress. Segment 2 and 3 of the public opposition should be available for viewing by Friday. PART 1 of 3: Public opposition. Runtime 20 minutes.
PART 2 of 3 Public opposition. Runtime aprox. 23 min.
PART 3 of 3 Public opposition. Runtime aprox. 20 mins.
04.25.22 (RADIO): WSHU Latino group call on Connecticut lawmakers to open a Danbury charter school

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.
