First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker and Selectmen Paul Szatkowski and Richard Straiton tabulate the road renewal plan voting totals.
Yesterday, residents of Bethel overwhelmingly approved the much debated 2 million dollar road renewal plan.
Over one thousand residents came out to vote on the package with 732 (73 percent) approving the plan while 249 (27 percent) voted in disapproval. With the passage, road repair will finally start in Bethel next year on a priority basis.
From last night, here's video of the reading of the voting totals.
After the vote, I had a chance to interview Bethel First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker and talk to him about the passage of the proposal.

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.
