As someone who knows a thing of two about the bad blood political history between the Mark Boughton and David Cappiello camps, I was wondering where Cappiello found all the new love came for Boughton at last night's swearing-in ceremony.
Two prominent GOP mayors announced today that they are backing Republican Linda McMahon's U.S. Senate bid.
Mark Boughton of Danbury and Tim Stewart of New Britain are among the 22 names on the list of McMahon's first round of official endorsements.
[...]
"It's important to me that Connecticut has a Senator in Washington who puts people first," Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton said in the same press release. "One of Linda's many intangible attributes is her remarkable ability to connect with people on a personal level. She genuinely cares about people, and that's important at a time when so many believe Washington is out of touch and disconnected."
Oh yeah Mark, Linda McMahon can certainly connect on a personal level...
"The children of Danbury are our most valuable resource, and we owe it to them to enact appropriate and enforceable safeguards to protect them from the threat of abuse.
Now, a couple of years later, Mr. Morality Boughton just endorsed a candidate whose claim to fame was making millions off of exposing children to scenes of simulated rape, public sex and necrophilia.
Hmm...Boughton's sudden admiration for the person who brought some of the most inappropriate smut to children's television screens across the country doesn't have anything to do with the big fat 1,000 dollar campaign contribution McMahon wrote for Danbury's last honest man back in late October (the largest single contribution Boughton received from an individual for that particular reporting period).
It only took 1,000 dollars for the Mayor to turn his back on children and expose himself as a hypocrite (again)...money well spent Linda!

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.
