Assistant Corporation Council Rick Gottschalk answer inquires from the Common Council regarding charter revision procedures Common Council Charter Revision Public Hearing 02.09.09
NOTE: This will be an ongoing post. This blog will be bumped to the top as new video clips are added.
On Feb 9, the Common Council held a public hearing the centered on changes to the city's charter.
As I stated in the past, for now I'm going to reserve my thoughts on everything surrounding changes to the charter. At this point, in my opinion, it's more important to get the information regarding what's happening to the charter out to the public...there will always be time to explain the political aspect to the changes later.
Since I'm in the process of uploading the videos (which takes quite a bit of time due their size), I'm going to break the video from the meeting into small clips. This should make it easier for people to watch the portion of the meeting that they want to watch while avoiding the rest of the event.
Again, this is an ongoing post which will be updated throughtout the next couple of days.

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.
