With eight years of tax increases, a budget that's ballooned from 149 million in 2001 to 202 million, and city debt going through the roof, this is how Mark Boughton responds to Gary Goncalves' criticism regarding the way he's governed the city.
Boughton said they even saved $13,000 a year by eliminating water coolers in City Hall...
...a budget that's over 200 million dollars (10+ million of which goes towards debt) and he's talking about water coolers savings?
With remarkable comments like this, it's no wonder Danbury's last honest man is doing everything in his power to avoid going toe to toe with Goncalves in an free and open public debate.

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.
