"It's not just a question of whether Mark Boughton has done enough for people to want to fire him...it's whether he's done enough bad things that people want to hire someone else."
-Common Council 6th Ward member Paul Rotello remarks on Mayor Boughton's win, News-Times Nov 7 2007.
To add onto Rotello's remarks, there isn't much one can do when Boughton is able to get away with crap out (i.e., mislead the public) without a media outlet that keeps tabs on him.
Then there's the whole thing with FREE and OPEN debates and the mayor running in essence a reactionary campaign comprised of the same material he used in 2007 (92 percent bipartisanship claim, taking credit for things that he had NOTHING to do with, misleading the public regarding taxes, etc).
Blah, blah, blah, you've heard it before and watching the activity at City Hall for years, you can be sure that I'll touch on these subjects again...but for now, time to move on.

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.
