Why was he (as well as Boughnton and DeLuca) served a subpoenas in the Galante case
In his latest deflection, when questioned about his tied to Galante on WNPR's "Where We Live," Cappiello spewed out a laundry list of misleading statements and outright lies such as so-called "glowing" articles Cappiello said the Danbury News-Times wrote about Galante and stating that he didn't know Galante was going to be convicted of a federal crime ALTHOUGH in a letter which was presented in court, Cappiello admitted to knowing that Galante did time in jail for tax evasion). What I considered the last straw was Cappiello having the audacity to point to LEGAL contributions Galante made to Chris Murphy and questioned why Murphy didn't give back the money donated to him.
It was at this point where I'd had enough and decided to call into the show and confront Cappiello on his misleading claim. Thankfully, CT-N videotaped the interview...and here's what happened.
I'll have more on the misleading nonsense the spewed out of Cappiello's mouth during his campaign including his flip-flop/election gimmick regarding his "pledge" not to accept donations from PACs.

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.
As David Cappiello's train wreck of a campaign comes to an end, I couldn't resist confronting Danbury's native son about his relationship with trash hauler/mobster James Galante.
