Well, I guess when Gary Goncalves asked Mark Boughton whether or not he would serve his entire term as mayor and not run for Congress, he forgot to ask the last honest man in Danbury if he would consider running for governor (if Rell didn't seek re-election) also.
The big story of the week centers around the speculation that Mayor Boughton is seriously considering setting up an exploratory committee for governor. Seeing that he's not even sworn in for his next term, I'd be hard press to believe that Boughton would make such an announcement so soon but I wouldn't be surprised if he made his intentions known sometime after the state of the city address next month.

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.
