Mayor Boughton address members of the Danbury Land Trust about the latest bond package Photo by ctblogger 01.27.08
Okay, here's an assignment for everyone.
For your viewing pleasure, here's video footage of Mayor Boughton's "open space bond" selling pitch towards members of the Danbury Land Trust.
I want to see how many misleading statements/inaccuracies you can pick from Mayor Boughton's presentation as well as take notice to a very important point I directed to the mayor.
Later today I'll break this presentation down, point out Boughton's misleading statements, explain how the John Pirro of the News-Times TOTALLY OVERLOOK key parts of Boughton's misleading remarks, and highlight the dangers in being a low-information voter.
Now, this ISN'T about whether or not the bond is a good thing or not, it's about what happens when you enlighten yourself, and ACTUALLY pay attention to what the mayor is selling you.
Knowledge is power and hopefully, you'll learn something about why it's important to be skeptical of the mayor's remarks and the REAL details of this bond BEFORE you cast your vote...hopefully.

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.
