"Budget increases in the last several years have forced us into a tight budget exacerbated by the current economic problems. The concerns I have about supporting this budget is that it has grown out of past budgets that I've opposed for these reasons."
Saadi is 100 percent correct...unfortunately, a resident would have to recall the past spedning habits of this mayor to understand what the Minority Leader is talking about...and without a source of media that will really report on City Hall activities, residents are left misinformed when it comes to how this city has spedning their taxpayer dollars.
As I stated several times this month, I'll be in a better positon to give my take on this year's budget later this week...but trust me, this budget isn't the fiscal responsible proposal that the mayor's supporters are cheerleading about.

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.
