Here's the break down in terms of what the proposed House redistricting means for Danbury...
Danbury will be represented by six state representatives, up from the current four. Two districts the 110th (mine) and the 109th (Joe Taborsak's) remain wholly in Danbury, although changed. The 138th (Jan Giegler) picked up a part of Ridgebury in Ridgefield, and has lost a bit but not all of the current part of New Fairfield and the area around the FCI to the 108th (Richard Smith). The 2nd (Dan Carter) lost a couple of blocks near Park Avenue School, and picked up a bit of northern Bethel, and for the first time got a bit of Dodgingtown in Newtown. A sliver of northeastern Danbury has become part of the 107th (David Scribner).
No official word on the State Senate map although sources say that the 24th district (McLachlan) will change slightly by picking up seats from Northern Bethel that's currently in the 26th.
More later.
On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of day laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
