There is no other way to explain it...City Clerk Jean Natale is losing her mind. That's the only way to described what she allegedly did Monday night before the Democratic Caucus.
You see, since shining the spotlight on the City Clerk's activities during the day (which has NOTHING to do with the office of City Clerk) and actively campaigning to eliminate the position of City Clerk and replacing it with a civil service staff, Natale has been quite vocal in her displeasure with yours truly as well as her critics.
According to sources at City Hall who were on hand when it all went down, it's alleged that on Monday our lovely City Clerk got into a embarrassingly heated exchange with Lynn Waller right before the Democrats started their caucus. With Natale doing most of the yelling, our City Clerk voiced her anger at the host of In Our Opinion over the testimony Waller provided to the Charter Commission...most notable Waller's CORRECT statement that Natale CAN NOT BE FOUND IN HER OFFICE.
One must question the wisdom of an elected official who would fly off the handle but with Jean's short temper anything is possible.
Remember, this is the same City Clerk who:
1. Allegedly got into a heated exchange with a reporter of the News-Times over the fact that the reporter requested a copy of the Common Council agenda and Natale refused because the docket wasn't delivered to the members of the council yet (which is irrelevant according to the Freedom of Information).
2. Got into a heated exchange with yours truly (with her doing all the yelling) about her standing next to a racist skinhead who held a five to six foot long TOTALLY VISIBLE "Speak English or Die" sign.
3. The same City Clerk who allegedly had some not very nice words about Ivon Alcime, host of Ideas at Work and Beyond who did a two part show on the City Clerk.
Well, after showing the public the results of my numerous Freedom of Information requests as well as my rather intense investigation, lets just say that our City Clerk will really lose her mind as the drum beat in the elimination of that unnecessary elected position will increase tremendously.

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.
