Letter to the Editor from resident Joseph Mastrolillo (will appear in the News-Times tomorrow):
I would like to comment on the mayor's robo call to tell me that he wasn't happy with the time it was taking the CL&P to handle the power problems.
I felt he was saying the CL&P were the bad guys and he was the good guy because he called me and asked me to call the CL&P and complain.
I felt with the size of the job, the areas that were hit harder than Danbury might have to be helped first and maybe there was a lack of qualified people to do the work.
This call made me very uncomfortable and sounded political to me and also a waste of the system just to score points.

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.
