From: Michael McLachlan "DanburyGOP@aol.com" To: Danbury GOP group "danbury-gop@yahoogroups.com" Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 7:11:39 AM Subject: "danbury-gop" Democrats' Budget Forum TONIGHT
I hope some Republicans will show up at the Democrat's state budget forum to ask the tough questions why they are not considering SPENDING CUTS! Speaker Donovan, Bob Godfrey and JNJASon Bartlett will be conducting their dog & pony show at 6:30 pm at WCSU Student Center #202 downtown. Thank you.
Real classy Mike, love your sense of bi-partisanship in addressing a budget crisis that effects EVERYONE in your district!
Since being sworn into office, Mike McLachlan's performance at the State Capitol has been anything but productive for Danbury. Offering more lip service than meaningful results for his district, McLachlan's is exhibiting the same level of un-hinged hotheadedness that he's known for locally.
With a state in the middle of a budget crisis, maybe Mike could do something productive for his district besides running his mouth, name calling, and casting idiotic votes. Maybe someone can ask our absent-minded senator what spending cuts would he like to see that could make up for the governor's 2 BILLION DOLLAR GAP in the state's deficit that she didn't take account for in for State of the State speech/budget proposal).
...and by the way, the Democrats already highlighted possible spending cut scenarios that would address Gov. Rowland-Rell's 2 BILLION DOLLAR screw-up, maybe you were too busy mouthing off on your blog to notice? While we're at it, haven't seen a THING from you that YOU PROPOSED ON YOUR OWN in terms of addressing the budget deficit...NOTHING.
In other words, someone should tell Mike to dial down the B.S., STFU, and get to work or he'll be one of the most embarrassing one term state senators in recent memory.

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.
