Mayoral candidates will square off next week when regional and local business leaders ask them how they would boost the city's economic base.
The Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce will host a mayoral forum as a way for residents and business community to hear the candidates' plan for Danbury.
[...]
Boughton and Setaro already have squared off at two debates. In recent weeks, they debated at forums sponsored by the citywide Parent Teacher Organization and the Senior Center.
Candidate Boughton also debated on local access television, as well as at the News-Times editorial board meeting...which equals FIVE debates.
Well, that was then, and now this is what Mayor Boughton had to say when the League of Women Voters tried to set up at least one FREE and OPEN debate.
"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."

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.
