With the possible closure of the post office on Main Street, the United States Postal Service will place a real hardship on residents who reside downtown/east side section of Danbury. When the proposal to close the Main Street post office was considered years ago, it was met with opposition from residents who rely on the downtown location. With the location on Main Street back on the chopping block, residents are speaking out in opposition again.
Today, the Democratic caucus of the city council released a letter expressing their support for a downtown post office presence. This morning, a had to chance to interview to City Council Minority Leader Tom Saadi and have him elaborate on the statement from the caucus.
You can read the letter from the Democratic caucus as well as Saadi's October 2010 correspondence with the Post Master and the Post Office Survey below.

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.
