Today, I'm happy to announce that I'll be blogging for the Hearst Connecticut Media Group.
...in other words, I'm now blogging for the Danbury News-Times.
What well that mean for HatCityBLOG...well, nothing. You see, nothing will change at this site. I'll still be doing to same reporting here, but over as a member of the Hearst Connecticut Media Group, I'm going to focus on two things:
1. Adding my voice to reporter's articles (i.e., video footage, follow-up reports).
2. Reporting on subject matter that's not being covered or being overlook at the local media.
Unlike here, I'm not going to be posting at the Hearst Connecticut Media Group on a daily basis but I WILL be providing people with information about topics in the Greater Danbury Area which is being overlooked.
Make sure to bookmark my new site and check out my postings once I start...I'm going to start posting some time this week (and trust me, my first post is going to be REAL good.
And wait till I disclose the other two announcements...oh, this is going to be FUN!

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.
