Instead of accepting the debate, the last honest man in Danbury is attempting fool the public with this tired, and recycled excuse.
In response Boughton said he only received the invitation to the league debate late last week and he will evaluate whether he can attend the event.
"It's already late in the (election) cycle and we do have a full schedule of events," he said. "I also have a responsibility to run the city of Danbury."
What's included on Boughton's schedule you ask? Well, lets take a look...
Busy schedule huh?
To recap:
Mayor Boughton can't seem to find the time to discuss the issues with Gary Goncalves in a FREE and OPEN debate at a time where the public could attend BUT he can find THREE HOURS in his busyt schedule to be the headliner at a fundraiser in RIDGEFIELD and help raise money for a fellow Republican candidate who's running for the Common Council?
In other words, raising money for political purposes is more important than agreeing to a FREE and OPEN 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.
